Hi I'm trying to switch to iproute2 ..
I emerged iproute2... unmerged net-tools
but when I try to update net-tools wants to reinstall.
Do i need those ?

Thanks for info ... it would be nice if iproute could completele eliminate needs for net-tools .... i'm kin'd of minimalist and feels bad when there is "unused" / "very partialy" used installed packages on system.
shure many of users knows what I'm tolking about |
