No, not all 737, but when I update one of my machines that I didn't update in those 6 months (perhaps except security updates), I'm going to have to remerge the majority of them. There might be quite some trivial updates in those, but I wouldn't be able to find out before I update. Paul ps. Even if it were 50 updates (which happens often enough for me), it would be too much to search info for all of them. -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
