Dale asks:
While I am at it, what is the syntax to mask a package higher than a
certain version in package.mask? I tired =>package.name.version and
tried>= package.name.version but the former doesn't work and seems to
ignore it and the later makes emerge print a boo boo message. On my old
rig, I want to mask anything above the 173 series. So far, I haven't
had the light bulb moment and never can remember how to do this.
This should do it:>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-174

I don't boot that machine often so it took me a bit to get around to
testing it. This setting worked great. portage does what I want and we
are both happy.
Thanks much.
