Personally I wouldn't start with a reinstall. |

I'd start with my world file and remove/comment out every 'application' not |
| 15 |
required to keep the machine running/booting. That should be nearly |
| 16 |
everything other than things like grub, your kernels, hardware drivers, |
| 17 |
terminals, etc. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
NOTE: Just because you comment something out in the world file doesn't mean |
| 20 |
it won't run, it just won't get updated or be part of portage's |
| 21 |
considerations about what to do. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
At that point emerge @world should only be considering, from a build POV, |
| 24 |
the stuff you really need. |

This python problem everyone is having I cannot help with. Solving problems |
| 27 |
like that is why people run Gentoo. With lots of power comes lots of |
| 28 |
responsibility. However with all the applications 'unconsidered' you have a |
| 29 |
chance of getting the really important stuff built and booting. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If I got that far then I'd start adding apps back in/uncommenting one or |
| 32 |
two at a time and see if I could make headway. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I've updated machines that were a year out of date but it took days and |
| 35 |
days. If I didn't want to build code every week I decided I couldn't run |
| 36 |
Gentoo. |
