Subject: [gentoo-user] Newbie Portage Question

> Hi,
> I was wondering how I can handle the merging of ~x86 packages. For 
> example, I 
> wanted to install opera 7 which is unstable, so I did:
> 
>       KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge opera
> 
> Which gave the desired result. The problem now though is that 
> everytime I do 
> an emerge world it wants to downgrade opera to version 6. How can 
> I tell 
> portage that I want to keep ~x86 versions of certain packages? I 
> have the 
> same problem with apache (but the other way around) as I want to 
> keep apache1 
> but emerge insists on upgrading to 2.
> 
> How can get around this?

> TIA,
