While this is true and one of the things that makes gentoo gentoo, there are already binary packages in portage. mozilla-bin, openoffice-bin. Mostly big packages which take some time to compile. So the idea of having a pre-compiled KDE isn't that alien to the world of gentoo.. Gerhard -- [email protected] mailing list
