Boot off a LiveCD somehow. Use one that has a fairly recent coreutils on |

it, and merge the coreutils pkg onto your actual system on disk. You |

will have to mount your disk-based system somewhere convenient and tell |
| 9 |
portage off the LiveCD to use that as the ROOT system to merge to. |

Next time portage tells you that unmerging something in system is a very |
| 12 |
very very bad idea, you should take it seriously. |
