Hello,
I'm using mutt as MUA in an xterm on VT1 and calling up,
via urlview, FF on VT2 with a web page from a mail URL.
Up to some time recently, Firefox only switched VT the
first time I did this, now it does it every time, annoyingly.
I would like to make FF stick to a specific VT, or just

It's surprising how few people have heard about the most
flexible tone generator (=synth) out there: csound
http://www.csounds.com
The latest package has a Gentoo ebuild, too, which is not
in the repository, however.
You can do *everything* with it, and it's so fast you
can use it as MIDI player
You could also try the pamarith comand of the netpbm package.
It has both -subtract and -difference

With 700 packages, paludis takes quite long here to give output,

recently sys-apps/mktemp is blocking coreutils even in x86.
mktemp is needed by baselayout, debianutils and a2ps.
As a2ps is optional and newer baselayout (~x86) version

So, we have a problem.

I might be a bit too naive or hands-on -- I think portage

In other words, even the existence of a separate revdep-rebuild

Looks like kernel headers are not found. Have you recently
installed a new kernel manually and deleted the old?
Or did you deinstall sys-kernel/linux-headers? You need that.

That's not even optimal. My King Young w/ 1.6GHz Celeron, 500 MB RAM,
