if you follow the ppc install guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/gentoo-ppc-install.html and use a stage3 tarball, you'll wind up with two system loggers installed. this is because the stage3 tarball comes with sysklogd already isntalled. i propose that this note be added to the docs in section 13, right after code listing 21: Important: If you used the stage3 tarball you do not need to install a system logger. The stage3 tarball includes sysklogd. If you would like to use metalog instead, you will need to remove sysklogd. After installation is complete, prevent sysklogd from running at startup by running 'rc-update del sysklogd default'. Then 'emerge unmerge sysklogd' to remove it. You will probably also have to manually delete the sysklogd configuration files in /etc (look for 'cfgpro' in the file list while unmerging). To install metalog, run 'emerge metalog', then 'rc-update add metalog default'.
Here ya go :)
