No problem... I just find that since we're such a different environment
from Diego's Red Hat systems, there are sometimes Gentoo specifics, so I
tend to like to look at the problem before it goes to the list to make
sure it isn't something I screwed up... *grin*

The /tmp/pxes is populated from the /opt/pxes-${PV}/stock/dist and
/opt/pxes-${PV}/stock/extra directories, depending on the options you
choose during pxesconfig.

Personally, I would wait a couple days, as I am working now to get a
pxes-0.9 ebuild into portage.  We can then see if that solves the
problem or if it is something we need to visit after that.
