No problem. Part of the fun of gentoo is you get to figure out how it works and you get to hack it yourself. Kinda like driving an old Ferrari :-) I honestly believe that gentoo is not built for the mass market, so their needs do not apply. The real needs do apply though. An installer that always works and is always current is not an appropriate high-priority need for gentoo. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
