Just a final comment to say that after 3 days of messing around I |
| 12 |
finally managed to get this machine working again. I did nothing |
| 13 |
'special' that I know of. I just kept uninstalling things, like |
| 14 |
everything with the name gnome in, etc., and rerunning eix-sync, |
| 15 |
revdep-rebuild loops where I skipped things that didn't work the first |
| 16 |
time, until finally it all seemed to come together. Magic. |

This was far and away the worst update cycle I've gone through on |
| 19 |
Gentoo. I last did this machine maybe 5 months ago. Didn't think this |
| 20 |
was all that long but it sure was tough. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
That said, and yes I was frustrated, I still prefer Gentoo to the |
| 23 |
FC2/FC3/FC4/FC5 treadmill I used to be on. Just wish it was easier. |

Thanks to everyone who answered my pleas! |
