No, unless you are entitled to a free 4.x to 5.x upgrade, VMWare sometimes do this when you buy the old version just before the new one is released. If not, you'll need to add ">app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0" to /etc/portage/package.mask to stop portage trying to upgrade. 5.0 is rather nice, and the upgrade fee from 4.5 is not that great. --=20 Neil Bothwick A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance from Mom. --Signature_Fri__12_Aug_2005_12_25_05_+0100_HSYkkAKtM1XRc1lX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC/IcUum4al0N1GQMRAstQAKCdILivkVWHns+Gt5t/xFTMQN7fnACgn7nK RECdyN1CBRqkxZXx9+fMGJA= =dStL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Fri__12_Aug_2005_12_25_05_+0100_HSYkkAKtM1XRc1lX-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
