This is a known problem that I mistakenly created. It should have been fixed |
| 9 |
1-2 days ago. When did you try an emerge system? |

Do this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
cd /etc |
| 19 |
rm make.profile |
| 20 |
cp -r /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0_rc6 make.profile |
| 21 |
cd make.profile |
| 22 |
vim packages |
| 23 |
(remove e2fsprogs (!), isapnptools) |
| 24 |
then do an emerge system |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You'll now have your own private system profile that will not get automatically |
| 27 |
updated when /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0_rc6 gets updated, so you should |
| 28 |
periodically check for fixes/updates. |

You're welcome, and sorry that your emerge system didn't go smoothly for you. |
| 33 |
Please let me know if you have any additional problems. I want to make sure |
| 34 |
that this texinfo problem no longer exists. |
