Re: [gentoo-alt] problem installing gentoo prefix on debian buster

[Michael Fothergill <michael.fothergill@gmail.com>]

Dear Folks,

Is this warning  a big concern?

WARNING: your shell initialisation (.cshrc, .bashrc, .profile)
*          seems to prepend to your PATH, this might kill your
*          Prefix:
*          /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:
*          You better fix this, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I ran the etc-update on the hosts file.

The system is up to date.  No packages needed to be removed by emerge
--depclean.

startprefix runs OK.

Can I compile a new kernel for the parent debian install in gentoo
prefix and use debian to do the make deb-pkg or make bindeb-pkg or
fakeroot commands if they don't work in gentoo prefix?

Cheers

MF
