Why is it so amzing? You are telling portage to re-compile all the packages all over again. Unless your system is broke it shouldn't have a problem with that.Amazing results. emerge -e world required 463 packages be emerged on my system. With only one exception they all worked first time. The one failure (nforce-audio) apprears to be a real problem so I submited a bug report.
The Gentoo developers and package maintainers really do a great job of making Gentoo work.
Thanks!
