Yeah, but your assuming everyone who uses gentoo is smart enough to edit these files.. Since redhat is going away, in a sense, your already seeing the flood of them coming over here and some of them are not smart enough to know that.. As much as I like helping out on this list, it get rather ugly having to answer the same ones over and over just because its deemed not serious enough.. Seems like a trivial fix to me anyway... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
