[quote]Note: The /opt directory is reserved in Gentoo Linux for binary-only packages. Examples include mozilla-bin, acroread, netscape and realplayer. Packages that get installed here will usually require a /etc/env.d/foo stub file. This is so that paths and additional variables can be included into the environment. For more information on ****/etc/env.d****, please visit this document.[/quote]

clicking on the /etc/env.d link goes to a dead page.  the link needs to be updated to point to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=5

Why is /doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml still available? It's not linked from the index anymore. Hasn't it been deprecated in favour of http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml ?

Fixing gentoo-howto.xml anyway
