After install on a new laptop, I wanted to add something to /etc/portage/package.use but discovered I have no /etc/portage directory. Is this install doomed or can I 'mkdir /etc/portage' and soldier on?

I listed my /etc/portage directory from another machine I have. So...I don't need to worry about those other directories (bin,postsync.d,savedconfig) in my new install?
| Code: |
livecd portage # ls -al
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 22 13:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 91 root root 4096 Aug 24 15:04 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 14 2006 .keep
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 18 14:36 .keep_sys-apps_portage-0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 22 2006 bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 650 Aug 13 22:53 package.keywords
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 224 Jul 12 16:18 package.mask

That directory and the files therein aren't, in my many experiences installing Gentoo, created by default.
Once you create the /etc/portage directory you go about creating or copying over old files (ie. package.*).
I imagine there's some package in portage that may create files in /etc/portage (??)... I'm looking at a /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.13.4 file in my Vmware's Gentoo install atm, but otherwise I'm certain those files aren't there after a stage3 install or created in any other way other than by yourself. |

In fact, /etc/portage must be create when you install your box. |
