Of course, at that point, unless you know how to build proper packages, as in put in the right dependency info, you will have a "defective" package.

I'm just curious if it actually works when you just emerge binary packages. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
