22 I agree to some degree. I think it should be gotten from the home page
23 when not avaiable from a Gentoo mirror. However, portage has the
24 checksum so if someone messed with it, you would get a error saying it
25 didn't match. It should be safe.

27 Glad you got it going. I got those 6 packages unmerged too.
