I would say, just install the demo as it is and don't worry about Portage. The demo is time-limited (30 days, after which it stops working). If in that time you decide you want to buy it, then do so, uninstall the demo and reinstall the full version (which your purchase will enable you to download, if it is in fact a different download) with Portage. If you don't want it, then uninstall the demo-- no harm, no foul. Both you and Portage can handle being a bit out-of sync on one package, for a month or less, I'm sure :-) HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
