Hi, Gentoo! |

As reported in other threads, my new PC had a broken RAM stick in it. |
| 4 |
As a result, an unknown proportion of installed binaries are flaky. One |
| 5 |
non-functioning binary is probably GCC. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
What I'd like to do is reinstall every binary, yet without erasing any |
| 8 |
configuration info, whose creation was so arduous. |

Where does portage keep it's list of installed packages? What do I have |
| 11 |
to do to persuade portage it has _no_ installed packages before doing |
| 12 |
'rm -rf *' in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Has anybody any other tips to offer me for this operation? |
