Thanks for the URL. I've never dealt with overlays before, but I"m open |
| 69 |
to it. My question is, if I use the kde4.1 overlay how do I get rid of |
| 70 |
it, when the time comes that 4.1 is in portage? If I delete the overlay |
| 71 |
does that delete the packages that were installed with it? I read the |
| 72 |
UG on it, but it wasn't very clear. |
