Sure. I did not mean to imply one *must* know about FEATURES in order to maintain a Gentoo system, only that it is a fundamental part of Gentoo that may be of interest to you (it's even mentioned in the Handbook). The --jobs parameter is not so important and, while it's been been a feature of portage for a while, it hasn't nearly been around as long as FEATURES (which has been part of Gentoo for as long as I can remember). Well, thanks for pointing out the error in my appliance creation script that mistakenly sets up the serial console on non-headless VMs. I've fixed the bug and created and uploaded a new image. -a
