Or in the handbook, Working with Portage, Diverting from the official |
| 22 |
tree, here (this is the amd64 handbook, but it doesn't matter for this): |

How did you ever get the kde-sunset overlay setup without knowing about |
| 28 |
overlays? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Meanwhile, if you don't know about that, you almost surely don't know |
| 31 |
about a number of other important portage features. I'd suggest you |
| 32 |
(re)read the whole working with portage part of the handbook. It's quite |
| 33 |
possible you'll learn a lot more that'll make your gentoo life easier. |
