[clue-tech] Gentoo sources question

[Yuko Jonah]

Collins, welcome back to the Gentoo distro which you had helped me long time
ago.
if i understand your question correctly you need to emerge gentoo-sources
with this command to get the kernel source downloaded.  i hope this help
you.

USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-sources
