Hi, ~x86 means that this package is marked as unstable because it needs some testing, if you want to test it (don't worry, I've my whole system in ~x86 and it's quite stable), just unmask it this way : echo "net-www/mozplugger ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords You'll have to create /etc/portage/ if it's the first time you use the /etc/portage/* files ... regards, Boris. > > The wiki's down at the moment :( > > > -Thufir > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > > -- Quiconque me parle de Dieu en veut à ma bourse ou à ma liberté. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
