Hello. Under /dev/disk, we find links that point to the devices which "host" a filesystem. For example, suppose there's a filesystem with the label "Home" and it's stored on the LV called "Home" on the "sys" VG (ie. /dev/sys/Home). We then find: --($:~)-- ls -la /dev/disk/by-label/Home lrwxrwxrwx

Good morning! On my system, I don't use a modem and don't intend to ever do so. Because of this, I did not install net-dialup/ppp. But I'd now like to install kde-base/kde-meta, which will pull in kde-base/kdenetwork-meta, which will pull in kde-base/kppp and this will finally pull in net-dialup/p
