Thanks to everyone that answered. I think I'll take the evening off |
| 52 |
and see if it's fixed itself tomorrow morning. If not I'll give Alan's |
| 53 |
idea a try and if none of that works just build the machine again but |
| 54 |
this time follow instructions! ;-) |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I've saved most of the stuff I need - stage3/portage-snapshot, |
| 57 |
contents of etc/world and a few other things. There's nothing on the |
| 58 |
system as I cannot make X run correctly yet so it's not a big deal to |
| 59 |
go about a clean install. |
| 60 |

Again, thanks! |
