On the USE line, what is that t$ on the end? Never seen that before. Don't forget to do the close quote on the end too. I don't see that there. That could cause issues. I'm not familiar with the hash part it is complaining about. I do know this. The number 1 and the letter l look a awful lot alike on some fonts. Make sure you get the right one on that. Same for the number 0 and the letter O as well. It will get the best of us all at times. I've been known to cheat and use copy and paste. That takes out the person in the chair error. :-D I did the last install a few years ago which I think was before the move to the wiki thing. I went digging around. I hope I don't have to do a install anytime soon. I may refer back to my old printout in the shed. I'm not a big fan of the new thing either. I did find this tho. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Complete_Handbook If you scroll down to the installing section, you may can find something better there. I hope you do because so far, I'm liking my old printout more and more. Dale :-) :-)
