FYI, 2003. I installed from the 1.4 CD. No clue how long Alan M. or |
25 |
Neil has been lurking about but even if it was shorter than that, they |
26 |
know a LOT more than you do about updating Gentoo. As I said, I don't |
27 |
claim to be a Gentoo genius but even I know better than to do what you |
28 |
are doing the way you are doing it. Some of us know exactly why you are |
29 |
having the problems you are but you continue to refuse to listen. |

31 |
By all means tho, keep doing what you are doing. The only person you |
32 |
are hurting is yourself. No one else on this list is having the |
33 |
problems you are. If it was emerge that was causing it, others would be |
34 |
posting about it. |

Wish we could help but I don't see it happening any time soon. |
