Well the main reason is because profiles will disappear from portage after a certain amount of time, and you can't really run without a profile!! The main effects changing the profile has for an existing install are: 1. Updates to default USE flags and masks. 2. Updates to make.defaults 3. Updates to virtual package defaults. 4. Updates to the system package set, or minimum versions of the system packages. > Does this link get moved when the "release" is ready? Changing the profile can sometimes cause a lot of updates, changes to use flags, features, etc, so no, it is not done automatically. Generally after changing the make.profile link, you will want to do an "emerge -DNuvp world" to see what changed. HTH, -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
