The same here. This news scared me a little! If during this "update" |
| 25 |
some of my servers gets screwed up, I will have to travel 100 miles |
| 26 |
to fix it on place. Not very nice perspective... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
BTW, I'm not using genkernel and I can not use it. sys-kernel/dracut |
| 29 |
is not stable yet, so this update going to be real pain in a**! |
| 30 |
After baselayout 1>2 update I thought nothing worse can happen to me. |
| 31 |
Now I see I was terribly wrong... |
