Trick is remembering it. :/ Oh, looky here: [ebuild R ] app-editors/nano-2.2.5 USE="justify ncurses nls spell unicode -debug -minimal -slang" No static build for nano. Bummer.

It seems as times goes by, the reasons I left Mandrake are coming to Gentoo. The only thing is, I only updated Mandrake once every few months and VERY little to compile either. Plus, I had powstatd for my UPS as well. I like it a LOT more than upsmon and such. I made it to the init script part and I'm clueless. Let me see if I got this right. I copy the script but I don't see where it mounts /usr and /var anywhere. Do I need to add that to the script or does something figure this out later? Isn't that the point of the script, to mount /usr and /var? Progress, ever so sloooooooowly. o_O Dale :-) :-)
