Thank you, Remy-- you're right: |

OK, so I'm panicking over nothing, which is good to know, but now I'm a |
| 37 |
little P.O.'d that I should have had *cause* to panic (I've gotta be a |
| 38 |
bit P.O'd about something, since I've made a fool of myself ;-) ). |

Seems to me that someone even less technically adept than I am (and I'm |
| 41 |
not really all that, after all), could really lose their cool under |
| 42 |
these circumstances, all because of that little cfgpro that they might |
| 43 |
not know what it means, even if they saw it. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I'm really glad to know that the files are not in fact removed, but I |
| 46 |
have this feeling that it should have been clearer that they really |
| 47 |
weren't removed, despite the fact that that section of the operation was |
| 48 |
removing files. Ah well, I know Portage isn't perfect, but it usually |
| 49 |
doesn't scare the pants off me just during normal operation like that |
| 50 |
(which tends to scare me more than just normal Portage scary-stuff). |
| 51 |

Anyway, thanks again. |
