 I lost my make.conf Hello to all! I just tried a mirrorselect because my favourite gentoo mirror is down but unfortunately I was so stupid to overwrite my whole /etc/make.conf. Is there a way to get the generic one back without booting from CD? Please do not mention things like "You should have made a backup before!". I did not do it so my make.conf is gone! Thanks for your help! Richard      |

You can re-emerge portage if emerge will work without make.conf, otherwise I would try making a copy of /etc/make.globals and name it make.conf just to get portage re-emerged. Then of course run etc-update to get the generic make.conf back again. You will need to regenerate your 'USE' flags in make.conf also. I recommend the 'ufed' port for that purpose. |

But there was nothing to do for etc-update afterwards. |

Thank you Walt. This worked for me! Richard |
