Actually, I probably just underquoted. I am well-aware that there are |
| 6 |
issues with ARM, hence my previous suggestion that it might make sense |
| 7 |
to vary this by profile. |

Let me try my post again, with a bit more quoting: |

Hit your head on the wall because it doesn't contain a kernel? |
| 26 |
Stage3s in general aren't functional systems. |

Insofar as much as he was talking about ARM I get the point. Insofar |
| 29 |
as he is taking about amd64, not so much. Which he was talking about |
| 30 |
in that paragraph I can only guess at. |

If it actually had collisions with other network managers I think |
| 35 |
there would be more of a case for removing it. |

After all, we stick openrc and portage (the PM) in the stage3 and you |

don't exactly need those in order to run Gentoo... |
