[Timothy A. Holmes] I am leaving my office in a moment to put the 2006.1 disk in a server to start a fresh build (it's a standby server and I can afford to have it off line for a day or 2) specifically to avoid having to do the gcc4 upgrade. Ive done one so far and it took me 5 days and nearly cost me my laptop -- and I followed the gentoo guide specifically. There has GOT to be a better way. Sadly I cant take each of my servers offline to do upgrade them this way -- some I will have to risk on the GCC upgrade, but for now im avoiding it like the plague. Tim Timothy A.
