There is no such option, but you can get expired ebuilds from http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/cat-egory/package Click the dead files link to see old ebuilds, download the one you want an put it in a local overlay. Then emerge with the -k option. -- Neil Bothwick EASY TO INSTALL = Difficult to install, but instruction manual has pictures.
