As for kernel_linux, is this something that can go in make.conf (i.e. KERNEL="linux")? > > It's totally possible to uninstall OpenRC; I haven't had it installed > in years. Nowadays you don't even need to do any tricks to do it. I got rid of it (emerge --unmerge, hehe). Some red text warning me of removing system software, but whatever. Subsequent world updates and depcleans show no changes except getting rid of sysvinit. Thanks Canek. Alec
