Gentoo has "system" and "world" - in concept almost the same thing |
| 12 |

Apologies if this has been pointed out already. |

However, on most of my machines "system" is empty (went that way soon |
| 16 |
after each install - no idea why) so all I am left with is "world". Is |
| 17 |
there any way to regen "system"? (like regenworld does for world?) |
| 18 |
Perhaps a "system" file can be manually created using only the packages |
| 19 |
from world that the user wants? |
