27 Hi,
28
29 ~x86 means that this package is marked as unstable because it needs
30 some testing, if you want to test it (don't worry, I've my whole
31 system in ~x86 and it's quite stable), just unmask it this way :
32
33 echo "net-www/mozplugger ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
34
35 You'll have to create /etc/portage/ if it's the first time you use the
36 /etc/portage/* files ...
37
38 regards,
39
40 Boris.
