Please do not complain that you cannot duplicate my work if you are not
using an identical environment.

It is in the documentation.  Did you install catalyst with USE="doc
examples"?  If not, I suggest you do so and start looking at the example
spec files, along with the documentation.  The example spec files,
in /usr/share/doc/catalyst-$ver/examples, are up-to-date and have all
the options listed.

Sure.

Use the example ebuild in /usr/share/doc/catalyst-$ver/examples, rather
than this out-of-date document.

Honestly, I would also avoid the forums, as they have been anywhere from
100% correct to 100% wrong in how to do things.  It is best to use the
authoritative sources for information, which currently is this list,
which has the catalyst developers on it, and also the examples installed
via the catalyst ebuild.

Generally, if a problem is similar, then it is the same.  As for
understanding the problems/solutions, that will come with time.
Catalyst is a fairly complex piece of software.  Unfortunately, with
flexibility, comes complexity.

Cool.  =]

Honestly, the best way is via livecd/use, rather than a portage
configuration directory.
