Now that is cheating big time. Why didn't I think of that? Now they back in order. I been cleaning up my USE line in make.conf. I think some flags I added ages ago were only used by a few packages but are in wide use now, and I don't always need them. So, I edit, run emerge -auDN world to see what blows up. Edit again, run emerge and repeat. I think I'm on about the 10th repeat now. Slowly cleaning things up. I love the sig on this one. How is it that thing knows which to pick? ROFL Thanks for the cheat, I mean tip. Hit the nail on the head. Dale :-) :-)
