I started not to mention that but when trying to help, sometimes you just have to post anything you even think might help, even if it sounds bat guano crazy. lol It is odd that it does that way. I guess it would be safe to assume that everything in /etc/portage behaves that way. I recall playing with using sets a good while back, I had to move the files to /root or something to make sure they wouldn't get read if I didn't want them included. Live and learn I guess. Glad it got you going. Dale :-) :-)
