20 I didn't want to wear out my welcome. publicly, but one more question.
21 Using --update and --newuse, I just reinstalled qt last night. This
22 morning, after someone suggested eix, I ran that, and got this:

43 I haven't been able to find any syntax to actually use slots, so I needed
44 to ignore all the slot stuff until I get some slot info (the man page for
45 both emerge and portatge are silent on slots, beyond one very slim
46 paragraph in emerge, which gave no syntax). This morning, when I did the
47 cut/paste of your command, it came back and asked me:

56 Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
57
58 What the heck does it mean to merge these?
59
60 BTW, I did spend some time googling the answers, can't find anything
61 written on slot usage yet.
