Thanks for sharing because mine doesn't say anything that you posted. Maybe I synced at the wrong time. This all mine has: > net-ftp/deadftp > net-im/ayttm > net-im/gnophone > net-im/ymessenger > net-misc/gnomba > net-misc/pxes > net-nds/directoryadministrator What does ymessenger have to do with Gnome? I use KDE and still used Yahoo messenger. Would getting Yahoo to write a new messenger help any? Kopete is growing on me though. I like that I can log into multiple accounts at the same time. I just need to figure out how to make it use Seamonkey instead of Konqueror to access email and such. Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
