Yes, 'theoretically' one could, but it's my policy not to do that for
'real' Portage packages (as opposed to overlay packages, where you of

digest wrong), or the digest was right (and the package wrong). I could,
but that's what Portage (or in any case the herd responsible for these
packages) is supposed to do for me, so if it gets broke in
a way such as this, I let Portage get itself fixed by the experts.
Yes, sometimes I do claim 'pure user' privilege. Certainly where the ATI
drivers are involved. I do *not* want to get mixed up in development or
development management issues there.
Can you imagine the ridicule if I re-digested the package myself, it
didn't work, and then I submitted a bug? I'd rather not :) .

Well Holly, there is a simpler (superior?) approach... just get nVidia hardware ;-). (Thats it... I said it... I'm going no farther... not going to start a flame war!)
