To be sure, I'd take the lowest version and put a >= in front. Based on what I get here, it should look like this in the mask file: >=sys-boot/grub-2.00_p5107-r2 That way you don't have to worry about the new version that may come later, and if the old grub gets removed from the tree. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
