That's part 1 (installing), chapter 6 (base system), section 6.b. |
| 8 |
(portage), heading "Choosing the right profile". |

The handbook (at least the amd64 handbook I checked, presumably they're |
| 11 |
pretty much the same in this regard) now says to use eselect profile, so |
| 12 |
as long as it's listing the correct choices, the examples and details |
| 13 |
don't matter quite so much. However, the examples/details do mention |
| 14 |
desktop and server profiles (plus no-multilib for amd64) as alternates to |
| 15 |
the generic arch profile, so they /could/ be changed to additionally |
| 16 |
mention kde and gnome. But with eselect profile doing the heavy lifting |
| 17 |
already, I'd not call it critical. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
But be sure that eselect is getting the correct listing... for all archs. |
