Richard, once again I thank you for your knowledge. > Maybe a ~x86 system just isn't for you....
I didn't realize ~x86 was going to be such a headache. When I first installed gentoo, I read a lot of debates on the list and most people said that ~x86 was fairly "stable". Plus it seems there is such a LONG lag before things are marked as stable. Plus for a while (again, this is going on two years ago now I've had this notebook setup) many of the packages didn't have "stable" ebuilds, or worse, they were marked stable, but a dependency package was ~x86 so you had to edit package.keywords and add them... Anyways, I think I'm committed at this point ;-) > > * Dependancy info is missing!
