You may want to reconsider this. I have googleearth installed here and |
| 17 |
it doesn't get along well with portage and it's digest checking. Of |
| 18 |
course, it doesn't like my dial-up either. LOL |

>From what I understand Google doesn't allow Gentoo to mirror the souce |
| 21 |
tarball. After you install it and sync later on, if Google has changed |
| 22 |
something, you get a digest error. It will delete the tarball from |
| 23 |
distfiles too. I'm on dial-up and that sort of ticks me off, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The way I got around it is to manually delete it from my world file. |
| 26 |
That way it doesn't check the digest. Some guru may have a better way |
| 27 |
to do this but this is what I have ran into with googleearth. May want |
| 28 |
to check farther before you run into the same thing I did. |

Hope that helps, and makes sense. Sometimes I don't. LOL |
