Because emerge -e re-installs every package on your system it also wants to re-install the config files. If you are fairly confident that you don't need these changes (as most of them will want to revert your config file back to the original) you can run etc-update letting it merge trivial changes and then tell it to keep all the files as is, discarding the updates. -Mike -- ________________________________ Michael E.
