[gentoo-user] cron and crontab

2003-08-20 Thread Scott Jones
figure a way to do everything i want to do with cron from root. I personally am leaning toward figuring a way to do it just with root, because i figure there is a reason why cron and crontab were installed with the permissions they had. Your feedback is appreciated. Scott Jones

I believe that echo "=app-text/acroread-7.0 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords will fix your problem.  Basically you put programs you want to have masked ~x86 in the file package.keywords in the directory /etc/portage Scott Jones
