Easier way to do this. Let's say the ebuild for mozilla-thunderbird is a file called: /usr/portage/web-apps/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-1.4.r1.ebuild You just do: emerge web-apps/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-1.4.r1.ebuild I don't have access to my gentoo system right now to make sure that the ebuild file nomenclature is exactly correct, but that's the idea. Just give it a specific filename and emerge will build that version, whether it's stable or not. -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
