Yes, honestly, I DO look at it - I wouldn't be much of a system |
| 14 |
administrator if I didn't. I *always* *always* run emerge -uDpv world |
| 15 |
when I do an update world - and not only that - but I *always* *always* |
| 16 |
run emerge -av packagename/world - I never ever blindly run an emerge - |
| 17 |
even if it is the same one I just ran a -p on. I dunno, guess I am just |
| 18 |
careful like that. Obviously, not everyone wants to be vigilant - but |
| 19 |
if you aren't - then you don't get to whine about it when it breaks..... |
| 20 |
well actually I guess you do... |

Well, why not look into color.map - and as has been mentioned in this or |
| 28 |
other flags, read the finely written documentation - in fact, I know of |
| 29 |
other distros who use OUR documentation when pointing out how to do |
| 30 |
things to others on THEIR distros. Documentation isn't exactly written |
| 31 |
because the doc writers were bored. It was written so things aren't |
| 32 |
constantly repeated as have been over and over and over...infinity. |
| 33 |
Seriously, stop trying to be lazy and be a responsible system admin. |
