Out of all what is mentioned; you either need two GRUB entries or a single symlink that eselect controls, other than that there's nothing here to be made as part of eselect. Some of these things already are made the way they are by default, other things can happen as part of emerging a package; the other first install things are documented. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
