It's advised you give the "Portage Introduction" a quick readover at this URL: |

(The mips bits of the handbook are very outdated, so don't fully expect other |
12 |
mips bits there to work, we need a docs dev that can help get things |
13 |
straightened out). |

It's a little unfair to throw some users new to gentoo right into the |
16 |
experimental stuff sometimes, but that's the nature of O2 units right now, as |
17 |
well as some of the other mips hardware. I'll probably stable-mark arcboot in |
18 |
a few days to clear up some of the confusion, and eventually put one of the |
19 |
2.6 mips-sources stable (2.6.9 is unstable now). |
