That's a clever trick. How do you get emails from emerge?

Felix - you need to start reading the post-install messages when emerging things. With Gentoo, a lot of times, you have to actually do things manually after installing something - as you found with GRUB. Most people set things up so they get emails of the post install messages when emerging things, but it is up to you to actually read them and, when necessary, follow the instructions.
