Thanks for that tip - app-portage/elogviewer seems to be an interesting program. However, it is not an alternative for glep 42 as it may not inform me about possible issues *before* it might be almost too late. While for me, searching through the logs, to fix things afterwards is acceptable, it is not on a system where functionality is critical. Matthias -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
