	The "Home" and "End" key issues on the commandline are specific to 
Gentoo, this I know.  However, the nano issues is just that -- a nano 
issue.  A shell that runs debian on a 2.4.17 kernel but has a pretty 
recent nano has the same issue, I had to execute it with -wK.  It's some 
Numpad glitch, I'm not sure what causes it.  I get it on the console as 
well as on SSH.

	As for Gentoo's lack of functioning home/end keys, that's an enigma. 
I've kinda gotten used to it, and sometimes use ctrl-a or ctrl-e. 
Hopefully it'll be fixed one day.
