You included the package atom on the env var, al la /etc/portage/package.* syntax, which you should have included only the setting. The trouble with setting this on the command line is that it will be changed on your next update. I prefer you have /etc/portage/package.* as directories, then I have a fail called temp in each that included the settings I am only trying out. When I have finished experimenting I can delete the file. -- Neil Bothwick "Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy." -- Robert Heinlein
