Oooh please, don't fight because of my dumb questions :'( Actually, vmware-linux-tools is already installed. I just asked this question to know a little more about portage usage and manipulation.
I followed your advices and added vmware-linux-tools ~x86 to the /etc/portage/package.keywords et voilà :-) Indeed, I'm running Gentoo inside VMWare. At work, the laptops are installed with a Windows xp image and there is no support if the basic installation is removed. But as I am not able to live and work without any linux distrib, I install VMWare and install fedora for my first linux experience, and after one year, I try Gentoo with much pleasure but also many questions ;-) Thank you very much for your help :-) Etienne On Friday 23 December 2005 14:28, Dale wrote: > Neil Bothwick wrote: > >On Fri, 23 Dec 2005 06:18:52 -0600, Dale wrote: > >>>A lot of people say top-posting is bad too :-/ > >> > >>I top posted because the previous person did.
