What? How is packages being split even comes in question and why does it need 
"specific" documentation? A conflict is a conflict. It can arise because of 
any new change that has been committed to portage. Man pages explain how to 
solve these conflicts. Job done!

Now I don't understand how hand-picking each problem and then explaining about 
it is going to help. Documentation about a super-set is present. How will 
writing the same thing about each subset help the matter? If anything it will 
just increase the redundancy. What you want is a how to on climbing the 
stairs. Either you can write, "Climb 1st step and then go step by step" or 
you can write "Climb 1st step, then climb 2nd step, then 3rd step, then 
climb..."? Which one do you want?

Why? Why doesn't everyone else find Gentoo easy? What is it that differs you 
from others? Some super intelligence? The only difference between you and the 
others that I can see is that you chose to read while others don't.
