20 He's not using 1.5, I'm sure of that. Achim, right now we're having
21 a problem where the old pkgmerge is broken, but the new pkgmerge is
22 incompatible with our 1.0_rc4_pre2 packages. Do you think we could
23 release the "build.tbz2" (along with some documentation that I can write
24 on how to do the install) so that people can get a recent version of
25 Gentoo Linux installed? I hate to see people running into this
26 problem over and over again (due to 1.0_rc4_pre2 and its bugs).
