Funny, it has been a long time since I had to reinstall Linux. It just runs and runs and runs and runs and runs and runs and runs. . . . . . I did check and it was changed to a regular file on mine too. I guess it did that itself during the update. I don't remember doing it anyway. Thanks for the correction.

You are not supposed to link it any more, because that will break if /usr
has not yet been mounted. Set the correct timezone in /etc/conf.d/clock
and portage will copy the correct file to /etc/localtime whenever you
update timezone-data.

Someone correct me if I am wrong here.


Done ;-)

Learn something every day. Funny, it has been a long time since I had to reinstall Linux. It just runs and runs and runs and runs and runs and runs and runs. . . . . .

I did check and it was changed to a regular file on mine too. I guess it did that itself during the update. I don't remember doing it anyway.

Thanks for the correction.
