I would have done that without hesitation had it not been for the fact that this installation is a vm guest on winXP and I had a heck of a time getting it to work with gentoo. But as it turned out it wasn't all that hard. Mainly because it was kind of a basic installation even though it had X and KDE desktop. The fact that emerge can swallow giant size lists of stuff to uninstall was a big bonus. I didn't go over 86 on cmdline and just settled for doing it multiple times, but I think it would have swallowed more if I had. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
