Description Robert Goodkin 2003-08-06 16:37:14 UTC 
When starting from a stage1 tarbal and running the bootstrap script.. it puts a new copy of /etc/make.conf which overwrites all your optimazatins.  This completely defeats the purpose of bootstraping!  Killing the process and re-editing the file with your prefered flags causing the build to be done correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot off the 1.4 LIVECD   2.follow directions in install to the letter 3.run bootstrap script
Actual Results:  
It overwrote the /etc/make.conf file with a new one

Expected Results:  
merge it properly?

this is nothing to worry about, after the bootstrap scritp finished, the old file gets restored.
and yes. it will use the settings, you entered before, during bootstap.
