Description Kevin Fullerton 2007-04-04 09:16:49 UTC

On a new install of Gentoo/FreeBSD following the install guide, an additional step is needed in sample 2.11 to rm -rf /etc/make.profile first - doing ln will not work otherwise as the directory already exists and isn't a link.

Reproducible: Always

man ln

 -f     Remove existing destination files.

What kind of directory are you talking about? It's never been a directory anywhere, let alone on a *fresh* install.
