RE: [gentoo-user] doing gentoo install disrupted

Thanks space weather is out of here, I think.
I got a flash drive I can copy make.conf to and maybe share it with the
list if I can't figure out what broke.
I chose the systemd stage3 file latest version since I've not had exposure
to openrc and the other type of system gentoo offers in the past.  I know
a little bit about systemd.

Once you have that done, pick up where you left off.  In the past, I've had to do that before and it does fine as long as you remember where you left off.
