But since you raised the subject, I will try to remember that. I do assume that you prefer "Bottom-Posting", from your reply's position. Is "Inline-posting" acceptable too? I am trying out your suggestion, to re-emerge those three packages, and I'll keep keep you up to date with how that goes. Thanks again, Gabriel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
