1 Sorry for the looong delay. It's partially because I the system it remote
2 and I do not always have access to it, and partially because I nearly
3 forgot about this :) Sorry for that.

51 Done (with ~x86 instead).

68 I tried, getting these ooold versions from the attic. But it still
69 didn't work out.
70
71 But the PC is a rather old one, and so I decided to go away from Gentoo.
72 Using distcc helped, but only when I and my fast (well not really, but
73 much faster than that old Sempron) PC were there. I decided to try
74 Sabayon Linux, which is based on Gentoo, but binary. There is no KDE3,
75 though, so I had to install KDE4. Which is somewhat slow, maybe Xfce4 or
76 LXDE will be better.
77
78 BTW, I'm not too happy with Sabayon either. The equo package manager is
79 not as sophisticated as emerge, for example it looks like it is not
80 possible to call it when another instance is already running. And I do
81 not yet understand how I can mix equo with portage. But I dod not dig
82 into this too much, the person using this PC mainly uses KMail, Firefox
83 and aMSN, and this is working fine.
84
85 Anyway, thanks both of you for your assistance.
