Also guys, a point to remember.  You *cannot* recreate an old release
unless you use the *exact* same versions of pretty much everything.
Same catalyst, same genkernel, same snapshot.  We continually make
progress, so pulling up a spec file set from more than a 3 months ago is
very likely to no longer work with the newer tools.  The specs are
really there as a starting point and a guide, to be used along with the
spec templates you get from USE="doc" to allow you to see what options
are available to you and what options you want to change.  In some
cases, we change the tools immediately after the release.  We tend to
not break functionality before a release, and tend to make all of our
drastic changes immediately following... :P

I'll go ahead and tell you, as rocket said, postconf has gone away.  If
you use catalyst 1.1.10.4, it'll take care of it for you and give you a
nice big warning.  Also, you will *not* be able to install both ipw2100
and ipw2200 at the same time.  I'm telling you this now, as I'm sure
that'll end up being the next thing you ask... :P

You might also want to check the archives for this list, as there are
questions that many first time catalyst users ask that are already
answered quite well in the list.

Thanks and have fun using catalyst!
