Genkernel isn't really all that smart..
That's correct. A solution is being worked on (or thought about at least) but for the time being you need to reemerge them manually. It might be a good idea to make a bash script to do it and update the script if you add a package that provides a module. If you're not sure on how to create a bash script, it's as easy as putting #!/bin/bash into a text file and following it with standard commands. eg: #!/bin/bash emerge <package1> <package2> Then make it executable with chmod +x <scriptname> Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
