With hindsight, removing firefox, thunderbird and libreoffice and replacing them with their -bin counterparts at the start of the process would have saved much time. You could switch back to the source options once the system is up to date. How did you manage gcc upgrades, did you run gcc-config manually whenever gcc was updated? Do you feel it was worth the effort of updating for every day of the git history? Would a larger increment have saved time, or did you think minimising the number of issues to deal with after each emerge was more important? Anyway, glad it worked for you - it's more or less how I would have approached it but never had to, so thanks for doing the legwork :) -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 013: Unexpected error - Huh ?
