8 Others have told you the correct path for this. But there is an alternative
9 way to change your profile...<
10
11 # eselect profile list
12 Available profile symlink targets:
13 [1] default-linux/x86/2006.1
14 [2] default-linux/x86/no-nptl
15 [3] default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4
16 [4] default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop *
17 [5] hardened/x86
18 [6] hardened/x86/2.6
19 # eselect profile set 4
20
21 Also note that the slash in the end is important:
22
23 # ls -l /etc/make.profile/
24 total 3
25 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 655 2006-07-26 22:30 make.defaults
26 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 2006-07-26 22:30 parent
27 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271 2006-07-26 22:30 virtuals
