[gentoo-user] FrireFox3 behaving badly :)
Since upgrading to firefox 3, FF has started behaving badly. If I click on a link in say evolution in one desktop, with FF open in another, FF will jump to the desktop where I clicked on the link. This is quite off-putting to suddenly have FF move over the top of what you are doing and disturbingthe workflow. Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour of previous versions?

[gentoo-user] coreutils binary package
Hi, Due to problems with coreutils w/ 'xattr' USE-flag (cp) can't remerge it as some other packages. So need a binary package w/o xattr, a newer version will probably solve this too (need a i686-binary). Seems i could also use the install disk to get it but don't have one available. Any hints or help will be appreciated. Thanks, Rumen -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
