Did a similar same thing about two weeks ago. but found it better to copy the world file, make.conf and /etc/portage/package.keywords (if you have it) file, and the entire /etc dir to some other place, then install from stage three, put package.keywords and make.conf in place and do cat /someplace/world | xargs emerge -avD then get a beer, chips and a movie (unless you have some insane SMP system). after that copy over everything you need from your old /etc. and there you are. worked like a charm. greets benny -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
