15 I don't have Gentoo in front of me so I can't verify this now, but I
16 thought it worked to put the following in your world file:
17
18 <sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.11
19
20 Of course if all 3.10 kernels are removed from the tree then this will
21 pull in a wrong kernel, but I *think* that's valid world file
22 syntax...

24 Cheers,
