Yeah, I haven't studied enough to understand what the ${D} variable 
denotes. I did change the sed segment in the ebuild to change the Makefile 
from / to /usr, but when it tried to doinst is when I get the sandbox 
screaming about trying to write outside of ${D} in /usr/sbin. So, I 
suppose I just have a bit more reading to do. I don't want to override the 
sandbox ... just understan dhow it works and dig up where my ebuild mods 
are missing the needed changes. Thanks for the reply.
