I'm not sure if you are the same person that I met in irc, but the problem sounds like CONFIG_PROTECT is set incorrectly. If you run "emerge info", does CONFIG_PROTECT include /etc ? During the installation, the docs say to export CONFIG_PROTECT="-*". However, this should be done at install time only and should not be in /etc/make.conf (unless you want the behaviour that you have described above). - -- Regards, Jason Stubbs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFABdNXosKAszmcBv4RAp5PAJ9sq2I4BLmlVwat0MTiYVPKrtg4zQCfTP+8 JJNOrwEjCJYJLRe8eFwWEKU= =58+6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
