Could anybody tell me, how to make gentoo baselayout-2 system to be

Thank You!

This is how I did mine.

root@fireball / # cat /etc/make.conf | grep utf
LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
root@fireball / #

I think that is all I did.

Two issues. First, LC_ALL does not belong in make.conf. It belongs in
/etc/env.d/02locale. Second, "en_US.utf8" is not correct. It's
"en_US.UTF-8". :-)

Funny that it seems to work. I don't have that file:

root@fireball / # cat /etc/env.d/02locale
cat: /etc/env.d/02locale: No such file or directory
root@fireball / #

Maybe the "02" prefix is random.  Try:

  grep LC_ALL /etc/env.d/*

But fact it, whatever you put in /etc/make.conf is for portage, and portage only. If you define LC_ALL in make.conf, then the only software that will use that definition is portage itself (like the "emerge" tool.)
