+.I Additional Note:
+If you encounter the \fB-*\fR KEYWORD, this indicates that the package is known 
+to be broken on all systems which are not otherwise listed in KEYWORDS.  For 
+example, a binary only package which is built for x86 will look like:
+
+games-fps/quake3-demo-1.11.ebuild:KEYWORDS="-* x86"

+If you wish to accept this package anyways, then add \fB-*\fR to your 
+package.keywords like this:

+games-fps/quake3-demo -*
