Canek, Thanks for this information. But what about my original |
| 57 |
question, namely |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Can I remove my masks and let gnome-3.8 replace 3.6 (to the |
| 60 |
extent portage let's it) while I am running openrc and do |
| 61 |
*not* have systemd installed? |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
thanks, |
| 64 |
