So, I'm sure they will recognize the cups USE flag when they see it. Most everyone I know also have a printer (some with a pile of dust on it) so I think most of people will enable that USE flag anyway. --=20 Angelo Arrifano AKA MiKNiX Gentoo Embedded/OMAP850 Developer Linwizard Developer http://www.gentoo.org/~miknix http://miknix.homelinux.com
