Thanks Alan and Dale... but since this is a production server, guess |
| 21 |
I'll wait till this weekend to do the deed. |

On last question/confirmation - |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
There are a few updates other than just the baselayout/OpenRC updates |
| 26 |
pending... can I still emerge those now, prior to the baselayout update, |
| 27 |
like normal? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
On that note - I think I asked this a few months ago - I'm assuming I |
| 30 |
could continue using the old baselayout for a while, if I wanted, |
| 31 |
emerging updates (skipping the baselayout/OpenRC updates) for a while, |
| 32 |
without any problems, right? |
| 33 |
|

Thanks again guys... probably fretting over nothing, like the rest of you... |
