The "alternate config how-to" in every busybox ebuild contains an incorrect path that will confuse the hell out of everyone trying to create their own custom config for the first time: # cd /var/tmp/portage/busybox*/work bash: cd: /var/tmp/portage/busybox*/work: No such file or directory # make menuconfig make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop. The path "/var/tmp/portage/busybox*/work" should be changed to "/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/busybox-*/work/busybox-*"

Jeroen: looks good, please commit ;)
Of course this would still "confuse the hell" out of some people, particularly those who set PORTAGE_TMPDIR to a different path, but then they ought to recognise the path anyway. :) Fixed in CVS.
