But then the currently installed versions will still be ~x86, masking everything below those versions is going to break the dependencies, surely. I don't want to much about with a portage overlay. Doing the downgrade, unless it will break the system is the only real option. Or more importantly, the only option I wish to take :) - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/sUJgInuLMrk7bIwRAr5TAJ92O2nLHg5C2ZR+dfHij+CT8BiHlwCgoq5M dHu6yBRjQO1WKWBJVG0+lPw= =3qFT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
