Versions for me are as follows -
1. 2.1_pre4-r1 for portage 2. 0.4.1 for confcache Step that remains for is to match my portage as I have already done the other two steps you said - the this is the last one. Thanks so much, Rohit PS - I am yet to come back to Holly about the soundcard [cheers] but the system is under build even now as I am building one package at a time. This build is after a gap of 2 months so lot might have changed underneath and I want to check individual config instruction/info after each emerge. Thank you - both of you. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
