And I have no clue how to do any of that. Like I said, emerge just isn't ready for anything like this. I was hoping there may be some option, config file or something that I can use to do this and it just work. I think if there was such a thing, someone would have mentioned it long ago. Maybe one day something like this will be added. Then again, maybe not. Thanks to all for trying tho. Dale :-) :-)
