Hi,
Thanks for all your kindly response!
Right, it leads me to some question on the slot mechanism.
The slot stuff is nothing but making different version of pkg to coexist
on the system. Then, it there a way to setting the current version to
user? Is there any convention used whenever there are slotted pkgs?

Right, I have check the bug in bugzilla.
BTW, I am quite interested to give it a try, or as long as I can have a
way to recover my system in case crapp.
IMO, if I have a binary pkg of portage and python2.2 (stable),
it should be totally safe for me to try out the the unstable ones, do I
right?
