I found this morning on one system that uses ~amd64 portage that lafilefixer did fix a couple of things so it seems that maybe I needed it once at least. QUESTIONS: If I add the function to /etc/portage/bashrc then does it get updated and removed as I install new versions of portage? Will it being there cause any problems with later versions of portage that don't require it? Cheers, Mark
