Success. Actually on one of my boxes I have a cron job that runs once a month that effectively does an 'emerge -e world'. And usually I have 2 or 3 out of 700+ packages fail (usually because /usr/src/linux isn't pointing to the current kernel or once in a while avidemux will fail (it's hard masked anyway). But as always YMMV. -- Albert W. Hopkins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
