I found this annoying so I only use the stable sources, even on ~amd64 systems to keep updates to a reasonable level while ensuring I don't miss important updates. I added this to package.accept_keywords sys-kernel/gentoo-sources -~amd64 sys-kernel/linux-headers -~amd64 Having said that, it wants to install a new kernel this morning :-/ -- Neil Bothwick If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
