If you are installing with an ebuild, this is a nonissue. Let the |
| 17 |
installer install the scripts wherever it wants to -- in the sandbox. Then |
| 18 |
you can move them to the Gentoo-specific places after the installer is |
| 19 |
through. Finally, portage will merge the installed package into your file |
| 20 |
system. |
