9 I tried to recover using a Gentoo universal CD, but it was too much
10 work. I ended-up reinstalling from a stage3, untarred a recent portage
11 snapshot and emerged the binpkg from the Athlon64 X2 system. I first
12 emerged portage, then system, then added the world stuff. I haven't
13 finished yet, I needed some packages not available on the main system,
14 so no GUI yet.

16 For the packages (e.g. seamonkey) I need to recompile I try to use the
17 --buildpkgonly emerge option on the main system to generate a binpkg,
18 rather than setting up the distcc environment, looks easier.
