The prefix ~ says that a program (not the ebuild) is unstable, the prefix ^ means, that the package is nearly unusable and no prefix means that the app runs mostly stable. x86 says "Intel compatible CPU", ppc says "PowerPC CPU" etc. So ~x86 means that an app runs unstable on systems with an Intel compatible CPU and ^ppc means, that an app is nearly unusable on PC with PPC (Macs) etc. -- Linux inside NP: nothing -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If you use GNOME 2.2 or higher, you don't. Since GNOME 2.2 nautilus doesn't use its own themes anymore, but uses the same Icon-Themes as GNOME.

There are no packages, which depends on the older XFree and emerge doesn't want to install an additional version of XFree, it wants to downgrade your XFree 4.3 because it wants you to have the latest stable version of all packages. The latest stable Version of XFree is 4.2.1, so it wants to 'upgrade' your 4.3 to 4.2.1 (well, this actually would be a downgrade, but...). Use emerge -U world instead (with an uppercase U), this prevents downgrades -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
