Working thru all the guff with all you posters patient help would |
4 |
probably have been the best but between posting and seeing answers |
5 |
(suring the morning in the wee hours). I jumped stupid and starting |
6 |
uninstalling some of the blockers. |
7 |
|
8 |
So, I've made the mess considerably worse... maybe unsolvable since I |
9 |
have no gcc now and so no way to grind out the builds.... plus other |
10 |
truly boneheaded uninstalls that appear to have rendered my system |
11 |
unusable .... just like the little warning says when you |
12 |
gentoo -vC pkg ....... wheeeeee. |
13 |
|
14 |
I'm pretty sure at this point... I best to get a re-install going. |
15 |
|
16 |
Also it may help some of you posters to know that this install was not |
17 |
fully developed and an in common use OS anyway....A reinstall will loose |
18 |
nothing of any importance. |
19 |
|
20 |
Whatever is there of importance would be in /home /etc/ and maybe /var |
21 |
so I've rsynced them to my current Solaris desktop and will have any |
22 |
needed files to use later after the reinstall has progressed to a |
23 |
higher level. |

Thank you all for the suggestions they are most instructive and my |
26 |
notes from them should prove useful down the road. |

PS - Its coming back to me how gentoo is installed with the stage3 and |
29 |
portage downloads. |
