 |

All right so I know why it won't install, webmin is not deemed stable (correct?) for the x86 arch. So I found this wiki article: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Masked#But_you_want_to_install_the_package_anyway...
I run
| Code: | | echo "=app-admin/webmin-1.400-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
But bash says it can't find /etc/portage/package.keywords.

Well as far as I know it should be as simple as mkdir /etc/portage/package.keywords but myself personally have never seen a gentoo system built that did not have /etc/portage/package.keywords  |

Not quite - mkdir /etc/portage/package.keywords then echo "..." > /etc/portage/package.keywords won't work.
Well, the most "current" way of doing it is a mix of both your posts:
| Code: | mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "=app-admin/webmin-1.400-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/webmin |
The older way would have been:
| Code: | mkdir /etc/portage
echo "=app-admin/webmin-1.400-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
which still works.
/etc/portage was not created during the install process last time I looked, so you have to create that directory,
and some subdirectories if you want to use them.
