No, but if works for me here (in profiles/categories, under the overlay itself). So, I wonder what's different about your system. Are you sure that you spelled the category correctly? You can get a list of valid categories like this: python -c 'import portage; print portage.settings.categories' Does your category show in that list? > > Amit > -- Thanks, Zac
