10 Unless you already have buildpkg in FEATURES, then you can unpack the
11 tarball from $PKGDIR/All to the root filesystem. You'll still need a live
12 CD to do this, but it's a lot quicker, then you can re-emerge glibc from
13 your working system.

15 Incidentally, how did you miss the big red warning that emerge gives when
16 you try to unmerge a system package?
