3 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

7 "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.

23 Thanks for looking into it.
