Well, I blew that one. I decided to start over just in case I had |
2 |
missed something. Unfortunately, I failed to umount portage before I |
3 |
did rm -rf on the staging area. Now, I do not have /usr/portage. Some |
4 |
days are like that. :-( |

|

Does anyone know if it is possible to recover just portage without |
7 |
starting all over? |

I wrote the how-to. I haven't built a system in several weeks, so |
16 |
portage has changed a bit (and ebuilds). I plan on updating the how-to |
17 |
in a week or two, if I discover new problems (looks like there are |
18 |
some). |
