Suddenly I noticed I'm on the bleeding edge. I don't know why. The latest: emerge -aDvu world is emerging unstable k3b-1.0.4. At least if I'm reading the output of eix correctly, it's unstable. I don't have anything in ACCEPT_KEYWORDS (it's not defined). In all of /etc/portage there are 4 references to "x86", and they're in package.keywords for particular package releases whose features I needed. So why am I emerging these things? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
