Add entries to /etc/portage/package.mask. Something like: >x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 would tell portage not to merge anything "greater than" X version 7.0-r1. You could also just put 7.0 and it would at least get you the bug fixes (r2, r3, etc. when they come along). Enjoy! R -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
