I'm eager to start playing with gcc-3.1 and Gnome2. I'm not afraid of |
2 |
screwing up things because I believe that's necessary in order to progress |
3 |
(that's one of the things that made try and love Gentoo). Unfortunately |
4 |
I've a deadline for a paper submission which is closing in the next few |
5 |
days, so I've been restraining myself from messing so deeply with my |
6 |
system as I can't afford have it down until then. |
7 |
|
8 |
But when I do, what's the best way to upgrade my gcc-2.95.3+gnome-1.4 |
9 |
system to gcc-3.1+gnome-2.0 ? I know that gnome-2.0 works well |
10 |
side-by-side with a gnome 1.4 system, but regarding gcc-3.1 I've seen here |
11 |
that it's better to start from scratch. Is it so? |
12 |
|
13 |
I really didn't want to mess up with partitions again, so is there a way |
14 |
to reinstall gentoo (or simply recompile all packages with new settings) |
15 |
in order to achieve the same effect? |
16 |

Thanks, |
