I didn't have the audit stuff installed BUT it was turned on in the kernel. I kicked that out and also got rid of all that cgroup stuff I don't have any need for. Rebooted then tried your list. Audit stuff, gone. Sync is maybe a couple days old so should be OK. Portage is up to date. Python as follows: dev-lang/python-2.7.6 dev-lang/python-3.3.3 localhost ~ # eselect python list Available Python interpreters: [1] python2.7 * [2] python3.3 localhost ~ # Updated linux-headers. It was a little out of sync with kernel version. After all that, I get this: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Where did I put that hammer the last time I used it?? ;-) Ideas? I'm pretty much out of them right now. My idea is the hammer. lol Dale :-) :-)
