according to puf's syntax, you should put the URI at the END of the command.

I haven't seen an answer to my question elsewhere.
I have found it convenient to edit the gnome main applications menu, with a
Science menu and a Guitar menu, and others. I have perhaps too many apps
installed. Apropos is something I'd forgotten about, but it's convenient to

Just as a follow up, I got it up and running.
It seems to be an issue with the old 2.6.18 kernel. I grabbed a recent
ebuild from http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list
(2.6.31), and it's now working like a charm.
Thanks anyway!

Hello, people.
I've been trying for the past few days to get Xen working on Gentoo,
still no success.
I already have a dom0 kernel working, but can't get domU guests to
boot. I got installed:

app-emulation/xen-tools-3.4.2

Chromium is not released. It is not beta, it's not even really alpha yet.
It's common with software like this to disable everything by default and
force the user to enable things.
Reason: the user is probably running them to test them

If I want to freeze my nvidia-drivers because any upgrade will abandon my
hardware, masking out newer versions doesn't seem to be enough as it will also
offer to downgrade once that version is no longer in the portage tree.
Is it simpler to just remove nvidia-drivers from the world file?
Thanks,
thanks you all. rootdelay=10 is what i need.
