by the change. Is there relevant documentation on this? I know 'man portage' and 'man emerge' fairly well, but they are a bit vague when it comes to binary packages. I'll gladly RTFM if I knew a good one. I just don't want to have to RTFSource. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM
