What I usually do is: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
1. Extract the stage 3 tarball |
| 29 |
2. Sync the portage tree |
| 30 |
3. Switch to the systemd profile |
| 31 |
4. emerge -uDNvp world (this usually solves the systemd/udev conflicts) |
| 32 |
5. emerge --depclean |
| 33 |
6. Switch to the GNOME/systemd profile |
| 34 |
7. Emerge gnome-base/gnome |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
In my experience, if you switch directly to the GNOME/systemd profile, you |
| 37 |
get many conflicts. |
