Hello! I am installing Gentoo and I ran into some problems I never had before. Here they are:

After running
Code:
# emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse @world


Code:
Messages for package sys-auth/consolekit-1.2.0;
* Unable to find kernel sources at /usr/src/linux
* Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version for build, attempting to use running version
*   CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL:   is not set when it should be-
* Please check to make sure this options are set correctly
* Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems-

After running
Code:
# emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources


Code:
* IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/portage/package.keywords/zz-autounmask' needs updating


I ahve read the emerge man page and I found the tools I need. I just don't know if I should worry about that now or once I've installed the system.

It's ck-sources. So that's not a system-wide warning? Just a "message" from the package I'm trying to emerge?

The message about auditsyscall is a per-package message. The IMPORTANT is a system-scope message, likely provoked by use of autounmask. What did you autounmask? Why?

You can use eselect kernel to update the /usr/src/linux symlink so it points to the current kernel. Or you can set the symlink useflag for kernel sources and it will always do it.

I see. I didn't unmask anything I think. I just tried to emerge ck-sources and I couldn't do it because of that. I ended up emerging gentoo-sources instead.

Thanks, that's good information. I'll keep it in mind. However, the problem arised during installation, which means it was the first time I ever downloaded the sources.
