This is a mess, many systems are setup with portage already on a |
46 |
seperate partition for reasons. What advantage does it provide to move |
47 |
the tree now after all these years? I have seen nothing more then lets |
48 |
do this cause I like the ideal lately and it is getting old, there is no |
49 |
benefit that would justify moving the tree or many other changes that |
50 |
are being made in Gentoo lately. |
