11 You say that line appears in both scripts, but is it the first line?
12 Unaccompanied and not preceded by anything?

20 It doesn't work that way. Gentoo is all about choice, and that includes
21 choice of what is installed, and where and when. You have to make those
22 choices. Even choosing what sort of system is installed (multi-lib,
23 hardened, synchronised via git or rsync, ...). All in the name of flexibility
24 and doing one's own thing.
