No, that means only the latest one is protected. |

One of my machines has |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
| 43 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:2.6.33 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
which implies the latest is protected as well as 2.6.33. If I ran |
| 46 |
emerge -C gentoo-sources those two at least would be saved. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
If you specifically want to protect a kernel, maybe you require it for |
| 49 |
driver reasons or something, you can add a line like the above by hand |
| 50 |
or you can use the instructions on the screen when running emerge -p |
| 51 |
--depclean to add it. |
| 52 |

Hope this helps, |
