[gnome-base/gnome-2.22.2] is ready in portage, that MAY lead me to being able to unmask FF3 and keep everything else working. Trying it out. Removed epiphany and FF masking, try an emerge world again.
emerge --unmerge ghostscript-esp gnome-applets gst-plugins-ugly ghostscript-gpl totem gnome-control-center
emerge -DavuN world (163 packages!)
We’ll see how it goes…
Gentoo updated the way Java is configured. To fix it up I did this:
emerge -C java-config
emerge -1 java-config:0 java-config:2
java-check-environment
java-config-1 --set-system-vm 1I now have blackdown selected for 1.4, and sun for 1.6. Eclipse is working again.
Silly 8GB pci SD card jumped to a different /dev location. To track it down:
tail -f /var/log/messages
(insert USB stick/card/etc)
(you should get a [dev] location, mine looked like:)

emacs /etc/fstab
# MDM sync is important so that changes are immediate -
# otherwise they won't happen until you unmount -
# ie you'll lose changes if you don't properly unmount.
/dev/sdg1 /media/8gb_sdhc vfat auto,noatime,user,exec,sync 0 0
mount /media/8gb_sdhc
Eventually I should play with udev rules to better identify each device and mount to a specific location. See here.
Otherwise, apps like k3b won’t be able to access it. You have to log out/in after editing /etc/group.
Bumping up the gentoo-sources kernel from 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 to 2.6.25-gentoo-r7. [module-rebuild list] says to re-emerge [media-libs/svgalib], which I did. Be careful, I almost re-emerged while the old symlink was in place, which builds the wrong svgalib. Killed the build, bumped up the symlink, and re-emerged.
Also noticed that 7 config files needed bumping, mostly postfix-related. I don’t run a mail server on nightly, but be careful when you get around to updating the server! Especially this, which gets updated:
main.cf
