Another tip - if you run into any problems, try to emerge @system, not 
@world.

If you know you've successfully emerged @system and you get loads of 
stuff blocking with an @world, I tend to just unmerge all the blockers 
until @world fires successfully. You need to be a bit careful, you could 
still unmerge something important, but it's unlikely. Although these 
problems also tend to be fixed by backtrack=100.
