I have an ancient Gateway 200ARC sans notebook hard drive (amongst other
things). I don't have the stupid little ribbon cable so I can't install
one either. And "they" charge like $50 for one. The notebook was free,
and a 1GB USB stick is only $20. a 2GB is like $40.

Well, if you do a emerge -e world, it will recompile everything on your
system. I do mean everything. On mine it takes a little over 48
hours.

Yes, it empties the depend tree. So portage thinks that no software is
installed.

If I use emerge -f on a package, will it fetch that packaged
dependencies as well?
For instance, if I use 'emerge -f xorg-x11', will it check the system,
then download
everything that it needs to install that package?
If I were to use 'emerge -uf world', would there be a huge number of

Hi,
My system had been happily chugging along with X and KDE running for a

power back,

I've got X up and running, am about to do the kde install, but have a
