Re: [gentoo-user] systemd-boot on an openrc system

Hi Peter, long story short: AFAICT it's a deprecated or moved configuration entry inside the file /etc/machine-info and should be safe to just delete, maybe even with the whole file machine-info itself. On my machine with openrc and systemd-boot I don't even have /etc/machine-info at all and

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] suggest SSD partitioning

Hi, my thoughts: If you use an EFI/UEFI you will need a so called ESP, i.e. a FAT32 partition. FAT32 is ugly from a linux user's perspective (e.g. it doesn't support symlinks as far as I know and being regularly told by other users), but I'm putting /boot on that partition for at least seven
