The difference is between 4.3.4 and 4.4.3, not 4.3.3 Gentoo has the new GCC slotted and the handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml Suggests emerge -e system and emerge -e world in the "General Upgrade Instructions. If you think the handbook is wrong or my interpretation of it wrong then *please* tell me. I would prefer *not* to go through this nightmare whenever GCC does a major version bump. -- Regards, Gregory. Gentoo Linux - Penguin Power
