26 DO NOT, repeat DO NOT, under any circumstance unmerge coreutils.
27 You would find yourself without the most commonly used commands:
28 cat, ls, cp, mv, ln, id, chmod, chgrp, chown, tr, cut, join, split, mkdir,
29 mknod, mkfifo, nice, nohup, paste...
30 about 100 of them. Then emerge can't work anymore (and a few more scripts).
31 You're stuck.
32 I know, I did it once. Getting back a working system was hairy...
