Hello All.

How would I merge an older version of a package? Eg:

Had old Nvidia 31 drivers.
emerge rsynced
Upgraded to newer 41 drivers, which didnt work propeerly.

How do I go back to the 31 drivers?

Thanks

Bean

Go to a directory under /usr/portage/..
Do emerge on the concret ebuild u want.

For example go to /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/
and do emerge nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2.ebuild
