You may have to mail normal output by hand. Cheers, -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

If you don't have kompare already, there may be some bug in an eclass or ebuild relating to one of these packages. I'm not a kde user, but a quick look at the ebuild for kompare showed that the src is the same as kdesdk. As for where the blocks come from, I think it's directly from the dependencies specified in the ebuilds. Well, hope that helps. Cheers, Guilherme -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I think that if you just need to copy files, it is quite nice. For SSH there is PuTTY. I don't know if these are exactly what you want though. They are both listed on your [1] reference. WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/download.php PuTTY: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Hope that helps. Cheers, Guilherme -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Well, flash has other issues as well on linux, like staying over contents of websites or below it sometimes (the tranparency feature). I hope adobe fixes these issues.

[gentoo-user] Re: A specific Flash audio issue
Hi, I tested your link and I get the same errors you report, but at some point it even becomes ininteligible. I wonder if that's a bug in flash or in the website, since I never had this problem before anywhere else. Cheers, Guilherme -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
