As a bit of after the fact advice, be very careful about etc-update
and the files it puts in place. We've ll been burned by this fstab one.
But beyond that, watch the names carefully and make sure it's not
overwriting the ones you've edited.



Oy. Now they tell me! *Chuckle*


Yeah, that was it.  Apparently I overwrote a bunch of files that I had
edited.  I was foolish enough to think that the new files would be based
on the versions sitting on the hard-drive.

As things currently stand I've decided to burn back to ground zero and
start again.  It's drastic, but there are several reasons for this:

1>  I changes 30+ files in /etc with this latest update.  I have no clue
which ones I changed, and don't want to keep having nasty surprises for a
while...  (No network, no su, etc.)

2> I compiled the kernel with the wrong gcc flags. This might have been
the source of some of my problems. But now I've learned from that too,
and what the flags *should* be.


I may be mistaken, but I believe the kernel disregars whatever CFLAGS you have set in make.conf and uses its own.
