Dale, |

That's not a new install as per the handbook. Neither are you a new |
| 28 |
user as you have a premade make.conf and world file and some experience |
| 29 |
with Gentoo. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Put yourself in the place of a brand new Gentoo user doing his/her |
| 32 |
first install. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
It needs to just work out of the box, one way or another, without |
| 35 |
forums posts or calls for help in #gentoo about circular dependences. |
| 36 |
That's not just cups - thats all circular dependencies. |
