6 If you installed the kernel with make install, the config is already

13 Why remove the current version only to reinstall it?
14 emerge --prune gentoo-sources will remove all but the latest.

16 It's also faster to remove the directories from /usr/src before unmerging
17 them. You'll need to remove them manually anyway as unmerge -C/P doesn't
18 remove the compiled files.
