I definitely agree that this would be the best way to implement things. I was more or less looking for a way to do it without extending portage too much, but honestly, I think the ACCEPT_LICENSES needs to be checked by portage and not by the ebuilds themselves. As for the --interactive, I was speaking more along the lines of ebuilds such as unreal-tournament-goty and ut2003, which are more than one CD and absolutely REQUIRE user interaction. -- Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux Games Team Is your power animal a penguin?
