Ahhhh, that one line is in there so I guess it got moved at some point, likely the devs had some magic going on and did it for me. ;-) I'll comment that out in make.conf, so I don't confuse myself later on. :/ Come to think of it, I'll add a comment as to where it moved to as well so I don't have to go dig for it some day. Thanks. This will help the OP as well. Dale :-) :-)
