I am thinking that Dirk's advice maybe OpenRC/baselayout2 specific. Which is perhaps why those configuration variables gets ignored in your case. One thing you can try is to upgrade. But be sure to follow http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml if you choose to do so. If you leave the system in an inconsistent state it will fail to boot. (Unfortunately, as far as I know, openrc is not terribly well documented besides the information in /etc/rc.conf ... I'd be happy to be shown otherwise.) For baselayout-1, I think you are more or less stuck with http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4 Cheers, W -- Willie W.
