At a minimum you should read everything linked from here several times: |
| 25 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
and read these man pages many many times: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
man emerge |
| 30 |
man ebuild |
| 31 |
man 5 ebuild |
| 32 |
man 5 make.conf |
| 33 |
man 5 portage |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The answers to all your questions in this thread are in those references |
