You need to learn about masking in portage. Type in man:portage in a konqueror address bar, and look at all the options for setting up your /etc/portage directory files. The settings in these files will overide /etc/make.conf That way, you'll be able to emerge stuff that's in ~x86 in addition to x86 (so-called "stable." It's common that the newest kde releases won't make it into x86 right away, so you need to "unmask" and "keyword" them. They almost always work fine. for example, I've been running kde 3.5 betas and rc1for many weeks- no problems. But, I'm pure ~x86 (in make.conf) anyway, so I always have the latest packages show up in my emerge -uD system or world. Robert Crawford -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
