A little chuckle <ot>

[Aaron Grewell]

Yeah, I checked the discussion groups and didn't find anything interesting.  I 
really prefer mailing lists anyway.  KPilot should be part of kde-pim, but I 
can't emerge kde-pim either.  emerge doesn't find it.  That makes no sense, 
however, since KOrganizer (also part of kde-pim) is installed.  I originally 
though it was in kdebase and that it hadn't been loaded because I didn't have 
the USE variable set for PDA's, nor pilot-link installed.  I corrected all 
that and re-emerged kdebase, but to no avail.  This is my first Gentoo 
install, so I'm still just feeling my way around.
