Confused newbie

[wolfden]

you can try, but if it don't work, I would seriously think about a reinstall since who knows what all happened - that is just not a normal thing at all, something seems really really really odd.

I changed it to i586 and portage upgraded. Now it seems I have to edit 3 conf files in /etc but it doesnt say which ones and I'd rather not guess which ones to do myself as it seems I may do something bad. I've tried google but that isn't much help, is there anyway that I can find out which one's need updating?

The man page for emerge shows the trick for doing this.

Code: Select all

# man emerge

Scroll down to the section on "CONFIGURATION FILES", and read this section so you'll see how Gentoo/Sabayon-Linux works with managing changes to configuration files.
