erm.. we don't need 'anacron' to have a functional system. Ppl who really needs it can emerge it whenever they like, the guide is just a guide to set up ur base Gentoo box.

Marking this as WONTFIX.

If you don't need anacron, why do you need cron?

A cron is indeed a great tool and GDP recommands vixie-cron in the installation instruction. However, installing whatever-cron is based on each user's preference.

Comment 4 Florian Effenberger 2004-02-24 02:14:29 UTC

cron does not help if the system is shut down, then you need anacron. So anacron is a great tool as well ;-)

Gentoo is choice. We introduce softwares but not forcing users.
