Yeah, I have to echo that I rather dislike the config file system in portage. It would be nice if there was an alternative to etc-update, or something configurable to just copy in relevant sections, or cross reference them.

So, I'm in a slow and painful recover process, nothing to difficult, but extremely boring. Anyway, after the update, I couldn't start gdm, so, editing rc.conf and a few others got gdm running, but now I have a different problem, when I run gdm at display 0 (virtual console 7) it doesn't allow my default user to logon, the session crashes with errors like no permission to access display 0:0. If I run startx with the exec of startfluxbox on it, I can run it, but it seems that gdm is somehow messed up, because if I run startx then start gdm at console 8 (display 1), it runs fine and allows me to login (?).

I overheard some people on the portage-dev list say that they use dispatch-conf instead (see man page). Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
