15 I have none of those installed, but that k3d looks familiar. It is not
16 installed though. May have read about it somewhere. Is that that 3D
17 desktop thing? I did install that once but unmerged it ages ago.

59 I did re-emerge the docbook things, several times I might add, no
60 workey, just more smoke. :(

68 Me has one big priority right now, getting back to Mobile AL to see my
69 lady. :-)

71 What would die if I unmerged it? I don't want to remove it and then
72 reboot or something and it blow smoke at me. :/ I don't relish in
73 reinstalling Gentoo. I would, but I would rather not.
74
75 So you will know, this comes up on occasion when I do a emerge -uv
76 world. I usually do a emerge --resume --skipfirst and it carries on.
77 It just seems to pop up on occasion and is getting under my skin.
78
79 Thanks for the help though. I added a sig below. Fits me huh?? LOL
