We're not fighting . . . . YET. LOL Most have a sense of humor here.
They have to when I am around. LOL

Parden the top post. I'm breaking him in gently. It's better than I
got when I first came here for sure.

Oooh please, don't fight because of my dumb questions :'(
Actually, vmware-linux-tools is already installed.
I just asked this question to know a little more about portage usage and
manipulation.
I followed your advices and added
vmware-linux-tools ~x86
to the /etc/portage/package.keywords
et voilà :-)
Indeed, I'm running Gentoo inside VMWare.
At work, the laptops are installed with a Windows xp image
and there is no support if the basic installation is removed.
But as I am not able to live and work without any linux distrib,
I install VMWare and install fedora for my first linux experience,
and after one year, I try Gentoo with much pleasure but also many
questions ;-)
Thank you very much for your help :-)

I top posted because the previous person did. I didn't want someone to
get a sore neck, like mine. :( I put that in my reply too. Also
requested no flaming but . . . . .
You weren't flamed. Believe me, you'd have known if you were :)
Maybe it felt warm because it is so cold here. It's hard to tell from
reading print though.
Which is why this sort of usage should never be recommended without
suitable warnings.
We agree on that. Even a well seasoned user shouldn't use it from what
I have read. After all, there are better ways to do it.

I have four rigs:
1: Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now
two 80GB hard drives. 2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs
of ram and a 4GB drive. 3: Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU,
128MBs of ram and a 2.5GB drive. 4: Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad
200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB SCSI drive.
All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are
set up as servers.
