I would have done that without hesitation had it not been for the fact |
| 12 |
that this installation is a vm guest on winXP and I had a heck of a |
| 13 |
time getting it to work with gentoo. |

But as it turned out it wasn't all that hard. Mainly because it was |
| 16 |
kind of a basic installation even though it had X and KDE desktop. |

The fact that emerge can swallow giant size lists of stuff to |
| 19 |
uninstall was a big bonus. I didn't go over 86 on cmdline and just |
| 20 |
settled for doing it multiple times, but I think it would have |
| 21 |
swallowed more if I had. |
