Hi,
loop-aes and aespipe are part of the gentoo-portage.
Is "ciphers", which is also offered via loop-aes.sourceforge.net
also part of portage? I dont find it...
Or any other way to choose different cipher-algorithms to
be used with loop-aes?
Thank you very much for any help in advance!

Hi!
I have a gentoo installed, but I wasn't updating it since late 2007, I

Today I've run emerge --sync. It worked! It's great ;)
