Set I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING to anything other than "yes" in root's profile and |
| 17 |
the error will go away. I don't believe the warnings are in any way dangerous, |
| 18 |
to get a minimal install it will have removed USE flags and not installed any |
| 19 |
services (as opposed to adding stuff the make things minimal). Issues can be |
| 20 |
fixed by enabling the USE flags you do want. |
