The safest course is run python-updater-0.2, unmerge python-2.3, update python-updater then run the new version. You shouldn't break too much by unmerging the old version before you run python-updater. A few things may not work, but portage will be fine.

What *I* would do, and the reason why I think you're having so the trouble, is that you skipped 2.4.

Ask around the Fluxbox mailing lists/forums how to tweak auto-mounting; maybe it just lacks a GUI for those options and you'll have to tweak some *.rc file. For example, in KDE I've set it up so the USB drive does *not* get auto-mounted at all if I don't open it in a filemanager or right-click its icon on the desktop and selecting "Mount". It's the same as pmount, except with a mouse.

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
Can I simply emerge -C com_err and ss?
What do I need to do to get past this?

Good thing I asked! Any ideas on how to fix this? -- Mike Diehl

This is a snippet of mine and I'm using SATA HD's on my laptop with an Nvidia chipset: root (hd0,0) # the device where your /boot resides kernel /linux-2.6.23-r8 root=/dev/sda2 # the device where / resides
