While you're at it, can you ***PLEASE*** get rid of the ewarn message > WARN: postinst > Note that the English word lists are no longer installed by > default. It's been in there for what seems like forever. I just checked /var/log/portage/elog on the PC hooked up to my TV set. I installed Gentoo on it June 22nd, 2010. The message was in there back then. That's over 3 years!!! Enough already. I go through the messages in /var/portage/elog after every update. It's annoying to have that same old message polluting the logs. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
