That way, I can be sure that it's not me just getting in a hurry to install a package...

I went into the kernel and selected (as > the doc I found suggests) Oh, John, to hell with "the doc you found" (which look to be from the Wiki). No offense to the wiki (or to you), but you're really overcomplicating this. You're probably better off with the Firestarter docs found here http://www.fs-security.com/docs/kernel.php which are complete, and clear, and designed to work with the Firestarter front end.... you know, "official docs"...? :) Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
