re.  Of course, there could be others as well.  The bad thing is, it only takes one to disable the sound.  The upgrade could have triggered something.  Also, make sure you run the tool to update config changes, just in case it has something waiting and is needed.  That may or may not help but thought it worth a mention.  Just in case.  ;-)  Dale :-)  :-)

y.  If you wanted the most secure and hard to crack encryption, what would you use?  How does one tell cryptsetup to use it?  I have several encryption options here but no idea what is the best or even just good.  I'm making pepper sauce today.  I hope this typing is OK.  The air has a spicy warmth to it.  o_O Dale :-)  :-)

tain builds.  While just emerging them first might work, it also limits emerge to just doing that package instead of the whole update.  It also could have dependencies that also want a lot of resources.  I don't know about most people but I run my updates while I sleep.  Having the option to set that up would be nice.  It's not like packages are getting any smaller either.  This is a growing problem.  I have no idea how to do this but I do like the idea.  Dale :-)  :-)
