No, eix-sync does an emerge --sync and updates the local cache for portage and |
| 17 |
all overlays trees. To sync the overlays you need this: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
layman -S && eix-sync |

Leave layman installed, it's useful. You also need it if you want the sunrise |
| 26 |
stuff. |

Run KDE4 and 3.5 side by side for a bit till you are happy. They use different |
| 29 |
directories in ~ so they don't clash: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
kde-3.5 ~/.kde |
| 32 |
kde-4 ~/.kde4 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
then unmerge all of kde-3.5, verify with depclean, then delete the overlay |
