If I knew you needed to know, I would have told you.  I wish there was a 
mailing list that only had changes being made to portage.  New features 
and options that we don't know about.  Reading the man page just doesn't 
get it for me.  Sometimes I read the man page but just don't quite have 
that light bulb moment.

I think I actually read about that on this list.  Someone else was doing 
a emerge -e world after really borking something and had frequent 
compile failures.   I think he was trying to change the CHOST or 
something.  I remember it was a huge mess.

Sorry I didn't know but will try to do better next time. < Dale gets his
