31 Most likely I will not need it again for a while. I did save a copy to
32 my /root directory tho just in case. After letting it do its thing, a
33 emerge -uvDNp world came out just fine. It did remove 68 items tho.
34 Maybe that will speed up things a little.

36 Maybe portage will stabilize a little and the dev can play catch-up or
37 my favorite, Ketchup. LOL It seems the devs are adding a lot of
38 "features" to portage. Not complaining or anything tho. ;-)
