I've read on here many places about people writing their own ebuilds to install software. One of the pieces of software I run is Communigate Email, which is commercial software and gets installed by a script, not by compiling source code. Is this a problem for Gentoo? Or is this particular software outside the knowledge of Portage, and as such, not checked for dependencies and such? Thanks for any help you can give me. On a totally unrelated question, when I use Firefox in Xfce, I can't us Ctrl+F4 to close a tab. Does anyone know how I can avoid that? Thanks. Mike Swanson -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
