I recently switched to libvirt and virt-manager, which do the commandline work for me, and creatting new VMs or starting them is quiet easy. This system also supports running the VM in background, if this is important to you. It needs a couple of kernel modules to work, but emerge will promt to you what it needs. I'm not on my gentoo machine at the moment, so I can't provide you details on USE-flags, but I can say I have the QUEM_TAGET varables set to i386, x86_64 HTH --=20 Mit freundlichen Gr=FC=DFen / Best regards Randolph Maa=DFen
