Not really warnings, just advice. Yes, you should really use the new way |
| 20 |
of setting it. Then run eselect profile to reset your profile symlink. |

All you are doing is moving the portage tree to a filesystem that you |
| 23 |
backup and telling portage abut it. There's nothing dangerous about it |
| 24 |
and you won't stop your system working even if you get it wrong. I do |
| 25 |
that on all my Gentoo boxes as I don't want dynamic data in /usr. |
