Since usage of livecd/motd isn't valid for gentoo-release-* I have |

| 6 |
gentoo-release-* you will get a warning, and your custom motd will be |
| 7 |
ignored. |

I really wish people would *not* use gentoo-release-* when building |
| 10 |
anything that tries to be different from a Gentoo release. ;] |
