Hmmm, I didn't have to do that. The biggest blocker I had was because |
| 23 |
of a entry in one of the package.* files. I can't recall what it was |
| 24 |
now tho. I think I just commented it out completely and then emerge was |
| 25 |
much happier. |
| 26 |

As we know, running a mixed system is sometimes harder than running |
| 28 |
either all stable or all unstable. I'm sure it ticks off emerge too. ;-) |

Well, I think it wouldn't build because another package was at a version |
| 40 |
that package didn't like and it tried to build on that. Basically, |
| 41 |
there was a couple packages in sort of a mismatch. |

We used to have frequent power outages. If it was windy, lights out. |
| 54 |
If it was raining and windy, certainly lights out then. A few years |
| 55 |
ago, they replaced a whole section of power lines that went about 10 |
| 56 |
miles. It went from the substation almost to the road I live on which |
| 57 |
is where they kept having trouble. I think what it was doing is the wind |
| 58 |
or rain would weigh the lines down and they were so old and weak, they |
| 59 |
broke. Oddly tho, winter didn't seem to bother them as much as summer. |
| 60 |
Since they replaced that large section of lines, they may blink at times |
| 61 |
but that's about it. Also, they cleared out a LOT of trees that was |
| 62 |
around the lines too. They do that every few years tho. |

Yea, I live out in the sticks. We hunt, fish, grow a garden etc out |
| 65 |
here. If I don't get some sleep, I won't be able to work on that |
| 66 |
tractor when the sun pops up in a few hours either. It needs a new |
| 67 |
clutch. |
