True, right now I have only changed the ls command as far as the alias thing goes. I'll find some more tho I'm sure. I have the same old make.conf I had from my original install about 5 years ago. I used to have a make.conf.example but it seems to have been moved to /usr/share/portage/config which is odd. I put a link to /etc so I don't feel so lost. Anyway, I wonder what affect that would have on say a emerge -C <package-name>? Would there be any other gotchas when adding that would not be a good idea? Would portage just ignore it during certain commands? As far as updates, I would like it to add that but not sure what other affects that may have. Your thoughts? Dale :-) :-)
