Re: Fw: [gentoo-dev] proftpd & php & gnome-db & postgresql

[Kevin Gordon]

Thank you Jared H. Hudson! Excellent instructions actioned 100%. I now have
142,292 files on my gentoo system including unzip and jaxp. A large number
of ebuilds which installed 100%. Well done gentoo!
Thank you everyone. Still have about 12 to go. And still guilty of using
Windows for email! Well evolution still crashes but I will crack that one
too.
Thank you for your helpful emails.

Kevin
