Should I downgrade?
I decided not to downgrade. Right after gnome2.2 was released I ran a sync the next day and it suggested that I downgrade to gnome 2.0 again. I just waited it out and after a few days there were a few upgrades for gnome2.2-r1. I saw the baselayout downgrade yesterday and decided to stay where I'm at (since I'm not having major problems). > And if I don't what effect will this have on the other upgrades that I > do?

All I can say is that it works for me. I held off on the XFree betas for quite a while before I got sick of seeing it listed when I run emerge -up --deep world. :) later, ajay -------------------------------------------------------------------- Satyajot (Ajay) Sharma [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
