This guide from Gentoo.org should guide you in the process to upgrade to the current profile http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/new-upgrade-to-gentoo-1.4.xml and this will show you how to upgrade from any profile after 2004.0 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml Hope this helps -- Eric Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] mailing list
