I remember needing a custom profile for something about 18 months ago. I don't have that machine any more, but I'm sure I put it in my personal overlay and it worked just fine. There's nothing special about a profile, it's just a directory with standard files in it and parent profiles. If you recreate it or get the old one out of an archive, store it any old arb place you feel like and symlink make.profile to it -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
