Yeah, I've already made my first. Now it looks like I made a second. I did #emerge baselayout then #dispatch-conf. I only edited out the last comment in dispatch-conf.conf to enable a log file. But nothing appeared. Not in the console or the log. I was expecting a menu to appear listing the files to be altered and a choice of actions. Something did happen: the hard-drive light flickered for a few seconds. But it didn't seem to have left its trace anywhere. Some conf files were altered(or accessed?) but the time stamps correspond to the emerge baselayout, not dispatch-conf. Well, If gentoo doesn't boot in the morning I'll be here to complain from (ewww!) Windows :( -Maxim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
