I didnt know of this tool before so it is a goog hint anyway, but for the moment I want only check, whether the system is not cleanly setup/installed/updated in the sense of "it is working well" ;) Best regards, mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.

Simple question (and may be complicate to answer... ;) ) How can I check, that my Gentoo system is uptodate, consistent and sane? Best regards, mcc I think this is what you want. man glsa-check I don't use it so you will have to read or wait until someone who uses it comes along. No real clue how it works. I hope that helps and is what you are looking for. Dale :-) :-)

Simple question (and may be complicate to answer... ;) ) How can I check, that my Gentoo system is uptodate, consistent and sane?
