Hi Jorg, the problem was that the package vidix-cvs wouldn't unpack and build. Matthias kindly fixed the vidix-cvs package so it now builds. Thanks Matthias :-) And thanks for the tips Jorg, I am getting a little more familiar with how Gentoo 'works' - so far I think its great. It is very fast - seems noticeably faster at everything on the same hardware then Fedora 3 was. I should have done some pre and post benchmarking to get some comparisions. I think Gentoo will prove to be a good choice for the VDR box. Regards Anthony.
