Instead of stripping IPv6 out of your kernel, I would suggest that you |
| 23 |
simply disable it on any network interfaces. How you do this would |
| 24 |
depend on the method you use to manager your network config. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If you really want to remove IPv6 from your kernel, simply disable the |
| 27 |
GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SYSTEMD config option, and enable the other other |
| 28 |
dependencies manually. |
