Ordinarily, I'd just remove the blocking packages and away I'd go |
| 5 |
with the 'emerge -uDNv world' command. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
emerge -uDNvp world: |
| 8 |
blocks B ] media-video/nvidia-kernel (is blocking |
| 9 |
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774) |
| 10 |
[blocks B ] media-video/nvidia-glx (is blocking |
| 11 |
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774) |
| 12 |

Can I just remove the blocking packages and 'emerge -uDNv world' ??? |

OK it's underway.... the system is headless right now (in the |

server room) so I just opted for a straight upgrade of all.... |
