Sorry if this is a well-known issue. -Jef It's not an issue and support isn't being dropped. Those profiles were old and deprecated. Use the tool eselect profile --list to display the profiles that are compatible with your machine. As far as I know, the current latest profile is default/linux/powerpc/ppc32/2008.0 for ppc32. Thanks Joe for this clarification. It sets my mind at ease and now I'll see if this standard profile supports the Kurobox HG or needs the hacks I used on this website before: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/User:RussK/Create_2007_kurobox_Gentoo -Jeff
