here you go from the handbook
| Code: |
ode Listing 15: Opening /etc/make.conf
# nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf
As you probably noticed, the make.conf.example file is structured in a generic way: commented lines start with "#", other lines define variables using the VARIABLE="content" syntax. The make.conf file uses the same syntax. Several of those variables are discussed next.

here's the url http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=5 |
