In addition to the above, my cron job also syncs my overlays, updates eix database, checks dependencies, and verifies nvidia driver was not updated behind my back :-) echo "Syncing overlays..." /usr/bin/svn cleanup /usr/portage/local/layman/xeffects layman -S echo "Running update-eix..." update-eix --quiet echo "Running revdep-rebuild" revdep-rebuild --ignore --pretend --no-color rm -f /.revdep-rebuild.* echo "show openGL selection" eselect --no-color opengl list So my daily routine is to check the email from cron, then as long as nothing big needs to be updated, run emerge -uDNav where I examine the use flags, particularly the not selected ones. For big updates like kde and gcc, I wait for the weekend then check for any updating issues (b.g.o., forums, this list). HTH, Roy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
