Thanks, it's looking good. It is still compiling. (my system is a Via 600MHz - so it will take som time) Where can I read more about "masked"? I have questions like: Why use unmask? Why not use unmask? If I unmask a package now, will that spoil the same package later? etc. /hans -- Even if you hate images of text on the web, this tutorial... -- http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
