Hi,
just to warn everyone of you readers, who use ~ARCH:
firefox 4.0 arrived with a dep to gconf.
A big show stopper for the all who do not want to have any gnome
dependencies, but want to have the new Firefox.
You have been warned

Where should I look?
An emerge --info is a start..
with emerge -n hdparm you can add it.
Sure, but I had emerged (many years ago) so it should be in there, right?
Not necessarily, maybe you unmerged the package which required it,

When my battery gets below 10% my laptop has a very loud system beep. I
