So, I have used --help config and I have : # find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*' to get a list of files that need configuring, and I have also done: #etc update to auto-merge trivial updates (that must be some of the way there). What would be the opinion if I was to: CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" in /etc/make.conf Is this a bit extreme? and leave my installation open to goodness only knows what :confused:	jcr1 (893)

I'm actually having a lot of fun with this Gentoo and it works so well. I wonder how it would go on my laptop? It has a 2.4ghz celeron chip and 256 mbs of ram.	jcr1 (893)
