Thanks... this wasn't a huge installation. I'm not sure how many
installed packages were there... but I was able to get it done in
about 1 hr.
emerge was able to gulp long cmdlines constructed like:
eix -I >installed
Then a series of this type command:
emerge -vC `awk '/x11-drivers/{print $2}'`
Rebuilding the `installed' file occasionally.
I'm not sure what kind of a mess I've created yet .. I just started
emerge -vuDe world
Today about 1/2 hr ago
But at least the `world' file was pared way down; no monster kde
compiles to wait out.
