If you can boot a Live/Installation CD, there will be a glibc on the / |
20 |
filesystem mounted by the kernel. To get a list of files, you can use |
21 |
the database on your disk: |
22 |
/var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-*/CONTENTS |
23 |
|
24 |
Basically, you just want to have a valid set of files so that |
25 |
you can rebuild glibc. |
26 |

27 |
I erased before coreutils (ls, rm, cp, etc.) and I simply copied all of |
28 |
them from my Debian partition. For some weird version the ones on the |
29 |
Gentoo CD were not working... Once, I had valid binaries, I just |
30 |
re-emerged coreutils and everything was fine. |

Anyway, you might want to consider adding "buildpkg" to FEATURES in |
33 |
/etc/make.conf. That way, next time something goes wrong you just |
34 |
re-installed the previous version. buildpkg will do a tarball |
35 |
for everything that gets installed on your system. So, you never |
36 |
get stuck by not have a pre-compiled package. |
37 |
|
38 |
In any case, you can always extract the full base tarball from the |
39 |
installation CD. You will get more than what is needed but you |
40 |
wont have to reinstall. It messes a little the system but you |
41 |
can always remove later any files not owned by any installed ebuilds. |
