I think I talked about the toccata from Widor's 5th Symphony (in F), Bach's 
toccata and fugue in D minor, and the second movement of Vivaldi's Gloria in D 
(Et In Terra Pax), and probably a load of other stuff that is lost in the haze 
of my 4th pint (I really should stop after 3).

It's probably for the best that it's left forgotten really.

You managed to miss off some important advice that I shared - when dealing with 
dependancy issues in Gentoo, it's not a good idea to unmerge core-utils. I just 
wish someone had told me that first! (Stop sniggering back there).
