Set I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING to anything other than "yes" in root's profile and
the error will go away. I don't believe the warnings are in any way dangerous,
to get a minimal install it will have removed USE flags and not installed any
services (as opposed to adding stuff the make things minimal). Issues can be
fixed by enabling the USE flags you do want.
