The way to breakage. Changing chost can be a dangerous thing if there if your config files are not fully healthy, so, better use the guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml Never ever remove the database, it just does not make any sense. The profile will mark new minimal versions that maybe will push some updates into the system, and some of them maybe for critical stuff like glibc, gcc or xorg. There are upgrade guides for those around. Just be vigilant and use --pretend --verbose after doing a thing to see what is new in the profile. Jesús Guerrero. -- [email protected] mailing list
