You are told in chapter 6 that if a new Portage version is available, to |
4 |
ignore it. This is incorrect and misleading to readers, and should be |
5 |
changed appropriately |

|

"If you are warned that a new Portage version is available and that you should |
8 |
update Portage, you should ignore it. Portage will be updated for you later on |
9 |
during the installation." |

11 |
I believe this has been overlooked and is incorrect. Portage /will |
12 |
not/ be updated automatically later on during the rest of the Gentoo |
13 |
installation. I'm not saying that portage wont be updated /after/ the |
14 |
installation with emerge -uD world, |
15 |
i'm stating that this part/wording in the handbook is not correct. |
16 |
Some person then marked it as closed because he/she thought their |
17 |
opinion was correct. (their not correct). |
18 |
I have brought this up on IRC many times, and I always here people |
19 |
talk about it as being a confusing/misleading statement that should be |
20 |
re-stated. |

Thanks for looking into it. |
