Get a bootable Linux CD and boot from it and unzip the portage snapshot |
| 16 |
and stage tarball onto your system as the manual says. Then sync, |
| 17 |
bootstrap, and emerge -e world. That should get you back to where you |
| 18 |
are functional. Just use the newest 2005.1 stage on the install. |
