I am installing gentoo on a new laptop. I am a gnome, hence systemd, |
2 |
user. I also use lvm (I have / and /usr combined on a non-lvm partition). |
3 |
|
4 |
At the point where you choose a profile |
5 |
(//wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Choosing_the_right_profile) |
6 |
I selected |
7 |
[5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd * |
8 |
|
9 |
But now I get merge conflicts since I have sys-fs/udev installed. |
10 |
I can't depclean udev. |
11 |
|
12 |
Should I have just used the default/linux/amd64/13.0 profile |
13 |
and switched later after the installation is complete. |
14 |
|
15 |
Fortunately, I don't need to used the new machine immediately so I don't |
16 |
mind starting the installation over from the beginning |
17 |
|
18 |
In a similar vein, my systems have PORTDIR=/var/portage. Am I correct |
19 |
in now believing that it is better to do the install with the default |
20 |
PORTDIR=/usr/portage and then switching after the dust settles |
21 |
|
22 |
thanks, |
