Hmmmm (GRP option), Can anyone dig out a link to that install medium? I'm unable to find it. I have lots of old i(3/4/5/6_86 gear I can revisit such old installs:: and Sven has archived many old portage trees, if I can find that link. It might just be fun to do one of those old installs and an old installer. My current (active) oldest install is vintage 2007/2008... I do not upgrade it, I keep it around for nostalgic reasons.... Curiously, is that the same installation semantic that Pentoo currently uses with it's pentoo installer? [1] (ZeroChaos) James [1] https://code.google.com/p/pentoo/wiki/PentooInstaller
