With hindsight, removing firefox, thunderbird and libreoffice and |
| 11 |
replacing them with their -bin counterparts at the start of the process |

would have saved much time. You could switch back to the source options |
| 13 |
once the system is up to date. |

How did you manage gcc upgrades, did you run gcc-config manually whenever |
| 16 |
gcc was updated? |

Do you feel it was worth the effort of updating for every day of the git |
| 19 |
history? Would a larger increment have saved time, or did you think |
| 20 |
minimising the number of issues to deal with after each emerge was more |
| 21 |
important? |
