29 Thanks Albert. It worked and the problem is gone.

31 In a related way I've never stopped to look at /usr in the process of
32 doing an install. I have an old Mac Mini that I've been trying to get
33 Gentoo running on recently so in the middle of my install this morning
34 I stopped after untarring the stage-3 tarball and before untarring the
35 portage snapshot and found that /usr/portage doesn't exist at that
36 point.
37
38 Does this suggest that I'm actually free at any time to rm -r
39 /usr/portage and just untar the current snapshot? Other than distfiles
40 and the overhead of downloading all that stuff again is there anything
41 in /usr/portage that once erased would damage the machine?
42
43 I can always get most of distfile from other machines around here so
44 it's really a question as to whether portage and emerge build anything
45 in /usr/portage that cannot be recreated without much trouble.
46
47 Thanks again,
48 Mark
