Re: [gentoo-dev] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS + bootstrap.sh

[Nicholas Hockey]

well there is a reason that the base system is set up a certain way,
it's so that when you do run the bootstrap it will compile, in Linux
there is no real "base system" as there is in freebsd, so the only
logical way around this is to build a good foundation, which is well
known to build a complete system, at the sacrifice of time.

or they could do it your way, by the way i have some cheap land in
Florida, right next to the river, i'll sell it to you, by your standards
it should be a great place to build a house

(sorry if this sounds rude i just thought this would be a good
comparison)
