1) Look Ma... no cpio. During my first attempt to build a kernel, it |
| 2 |
died because the process couldn't find "cpio". I ran "emerge -1 cpio" |

and tried again, finishing successfully. "emerge -p --depclean" wants |
| 4 |
to remove it, which should not be happening. To overcome that I ran |
| 5 |
"emerge --noreplace cpio" which put cpio into my world set, keeping it |
| 6 |
safe. Why is this happening in the first place? |

* systemd... no thanks. |
| 13 |
* elogind... with PAM doing the authentication... no thanks. I've |
| 14 |
tangled with PAM in the past once too often. |
| 15 |
* some memory-heavy "desktop environment" on my 3-gigs-ram-laptop... |
| 16 |
no thanks. |
