Thats what I ended up doing as I already had "=x11-wm/openbox-2.3.0" in the world file and it didn't do me any good. So I used emerge -i on the old version after doing an rsync following installing the newer version. I also uninstalled gkrellm2 and similarly used the -i switch for that.(as I perfer the earlier version in that case) I just find it odd that more than once now I've tried to anchor something in the world file and it doesn't seem to work. Tho it does seem to leave alone experimental/new packages for which there is no unmasked version at all. With the openbox issue it gets weird tho because other than doc files when watching the install the binary et al goes to same directories implying it's overwriting any other files by same name. So even if you do have both versions in only the 2 sets of doc files would be seperated and whatever version you installed last that would be the one with the current binary by that name in there. -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can.
