When i emerge something after compiling,
IMPORTANT: 12 config files need to be updated!
I cant find any files with the end .cfg0000etc
So wich files does emerge want me to update and why? Im new to Gentoo so this might be a dum question but I really would like to know what this means. Also I cant get xmms, it wont compile.
jade:../../doc/refentry/jw.sgml:31:14:E: element "COMMAND" undefined
its giving 200 erros like this

Why is that? I want my xmms

Well tnx in advance for ansvering!

Otherwise Gentoo rox

The filenames for config files that need updating start with ._ not just .

Check the Multimedia forum for the xmms problem (or possibly xmms threads in this forum).

As for the config files, you can see GF2: xx config files need updating.

Otherwise, you can run etc-update.

So the ._cfg are supplied with arguments to use and my old .conf files are not up to date anymore. Did I get it right!
When I compare the old and the ._cfg files they are the same. Atleas in most cases.
This could be because I hadd emerge updating my conf files ruthlessly for a while.
But if it messes with my make.conf i dont like it.
This system is so diffrent form the one I used earlier(Slackware) so thats why im asking stupid questions here.
But the good thing is noone has to answer

Tnx again
