I am installing gentoo on a new laptop. I am a gnome, hence systemd, user. I also use lvm (I have / and /usr combined on a non-lvm partition).
At the point where you choose a profile (//wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Choosing_the_right_profile) I selected [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd * But now I get merge conflicts since I have sys-fs/udev installed. I can't depclean udev. Should I have just used the default/linux/amd64/13.0 profile and switched later after the installation is complete. Fortunately, I don't need to used the new machine immediately so I don't mind starting the installation over from the beginning In a similar vein, my systems have PORTDIR=/var/portage. Am I correct in now believing that it is better to do the install with the default PORTDIR=/usr/portage and then switching after the dust settles thanks, allan
