I found it to be helpful to de-install as many programs as possible |
| 21 |
before starting the update and the first emerge --sync. This reduces the |
| 22 |
amount of conflicts by a considerable amount. Stuff like libreoffice or |
| 23 |
thunderbird and so on and all of their dependencies. Everything your |
| 24 |
system does not need to run but what you need to be productive when you |
| 25 |
use your system. I use -av --depclean for this. |

Also there is something in the gentoo wiki about upgrading old or too |
| 28 |
old systems. |
