That may be what is going on then. I did go back one version and everything emerged just fine after that. I masked that puppy. This is something that I don't understand: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # uname -r > 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery list linux-headers > [ Searching for package 'linux-headers' in all categories among: ] > * installed packages > [I--] [ -] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.17-r2 (0) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # I have and am running a 2.6.18 kernel but there is no 2.6.18 version of linux-headers. I'm pretty clueless on this but something looks . . . . fishy. ;-) OK. So in the future when I compile a new kernel there is something new to add other than "make all && make modules_install"? I'm learning. Ya'll just keep teaching me. LOL Thanks Dale :-) :-) Now back to downloading OOo with a 28K dial-up connection. So far, all last night, today and most of tonight too. :-( -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967 -- [email protected] mailing list
