Dale, thanks for the pointer, and also for proving that enabling the parport USE flag should cure the problem Kevin experienced. > Ain't having all the options neat?

I enjoy keeping my systems lean and mean, so I turn off options I don't require, rather than including them 'just in case.' That's the beauty of Gentoo: we have choice. To each their own. It's called freedom. Cheers, Dave -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
