Same here : I've never re-installed Gentoo in the same machine, but updated weekly on the everyday system & less often on the others ; ANB2 (2003) still opens up, but won't talk to today's mice, ANB3 (2007) has a graphics-card problem, so can't boot intelligibly, ANB4 (2012 : this one) has no software problems, Horace (EEE-PC 2009) was recently updated successfully after 2 yr . Short advice : you're probably wasting your time (smile). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
