Do it at the earliest possible opportunity. Otherwise you will emmerge world and update to a current stable system, then amend ACCEPT_KEYWORDS and update to a current unstable system, effectively rendering the first emerge world as completely useless. Don't listen to people who will tell you c...@p like "starting with stable lets you find problems and fix them first". This is nonsense as once you start going unstable there is no going back, or at least no easy way to go back. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
