1 More progress...
2 So after tweaking the portage overlay tree and adding some symlinks,
3 portage will calculate the deps for emerge -av system. But when I try
4 to emerge the 53 packages it fails because it is trying to merge to
5 "/".... ie:
6 Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y
7 >>> emerge (1 of 53) sys-devel/patch-2.5.9-r1 to /
8 !!! File system problem. (Bad Symlink?)
9 !!! Fetching may fail: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
10 !!! No write access to /
11 !!! File patch-2.5.9.tar.gz isn't fetched but unable to get it.

13 ----------------
14 Note the "/" in the first line. Still my environment is missing
15 something. But I'm getting closer....
