I bootstrapped on Fedora 14 last week by skipping all |
| 13 |
./bootstrap-prefix.sh commands apart from tree and portage, and that |
| 14 |
worked fine. |

Skipping the emerge of compiler and linker is really going to cause |
| 17 |
trouble, since Gentoo Prefix uses modified versions that make sure all |
| 18 |
the tools from the Prefix are found. This is an essential bit of Gentoo |
| 19 |
Prefix, that distinguishes it from all other solutions that are around, |
| 20 |
because it means you don't have to do anything special to make your |
| 21 |
libraries and tools being found, once you're in the Prefix environment. |
