Keep in mind Rich, this is the same one who has scripts that does blind |
| 29 |
updates. He posted his scripts and that was my take on what they do. I |
| 30 |
seem to recall that it also deletes the logs which means he can't even |
| 31 |
backtrack and see what it did or did not do much less why something may |
| 32 |
have failed. |
| 33 |

At some point, the lesson will be learned. This ain't Ubuntu or some |
| 35 |
other distro where it can do its own updates with little or no user |
| 36 |
input. One has to "manage" Gentoo or Gentoo will manage the user, and |
| 37 |
send them into a rage like this. |

What gets me, he does this, blames emerge and all when the problem is in |
| 40 |
the chair. This was explained to him a while back. Even I know better |
| 41 |
than to do blind updates. ;-) |
