20 Yes, he is completely serious. If you are unwilling to read the
21 documentation (which includes the actual ebuilds themselves) then you
22 are going to have a broken system. Nothing any of us can do for you but
23 keep repeating the same mantra "RTFM".

25 By the way, Gentoo has a reputation for providing the *BEST*
26 documentation of any other distro. Many distros actually point their
27 users to Gentoo docs/forums for answers. Why aren't you utilizing this
28 awesome resource? Do you know how many man hours we put into those docs?
29 Every question you have asked so far is already answered in one of our
30 documentation resources...... Please stop wasting everyones time and do
31 as we ask - RTFM.
