Profiles are stored in $PORTAGE_DIR/profiles, so they do get removed during a sync if they are no longer on the server, just like old ebuilds get removed. A missing profile shouldn't break anything beyond getting a huge big error message when you try to emerge something. Just replace the profile link to an existing current one and 'emerge -avuND world' as normal -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
