Hi folks,

see anything about a massive boo boo. Just trying to see what is up here.
Pardon the noise but could someone reply to let me know it's still

just export the DONT_MOUNT_BOOT variable.
Which /boot partition? I don't have any ...

Hi all,
Here follows a quick heads up to save someone's hair (mine's been pulled
out).
If you emerge --sync && emerge world today, make sure you do it the
right way this time:
1. read the elogs
2. revdep-rebuild
3. then and only then, reboot. Better still, exit X and log in again to
make sure
