I hadn't seen that message - but then again, when I installed fcron the |
| 12 |
/etc/cron.* stuff wasn't especially important to me... so I might easily |
| 13 |
have ignored it at the time. It's a pity this sort of "essential" |
| 14 |
warning isn't available for all packages as some kind of Gentoo |
| 15 |
knowledge base - I guess I could read the ebuild files - but it would be |
| 16 |
far more convenient to have tips/tricks/gotchas available annotated with |
| 17 |
each package - say on http://packages.gentoo.org/... Hmmm. |

In any case, thanks - "crontab /etc/crontab" seems the perfect resolution. |
