Hi
I'm currently on to my very first Gentoo installation and just sitting around waiting for my system to finish the bootstrap.sh. Meanwhile I've been looking around a great deal and started to think about what kernel-package to use. I can't see any reason for not going with a 2.6-kernel and I suppose that is the way Gentoo's default will be moving as well. In doing so I thought using the gentoo-sources already now would save me some time over going with gentoo-dev-sources now and later switch to gentoo-sources. However, all version 2.6.x are masked in gentoo-sources. 2.6.11-r4 is marked as stable, but still masked. I can see the very same version is available in gentoo-dev-sources. Would it then be ok for me to
echo "=kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r4" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
in order to avoid having to switch packages later on? Or am I missing some heavy reason why the 2.6.x kernels is masked in gentoo-sources?
