Important
mergence has not been updated for years, and was written by an incomptent newbie (User:Digit). So it was probably wrong back then, and only drifted more wrong in maintenance and development neglect. mergence is provided here "as-is", merely to let Digit practice editing the wiki somewhere out of the way. Do not take it as a serious piece of kit to live by.

Warning
Not advisable to attempt to manage a gentoo system with mergence alone. You still need to use the tools mergence uses, tools not in mergence, the handbook/wiki and your brain.

Make the scripts executable
root #chmod +x /bin/mergenceroot #chmod +x /bin/premergroot #chmod a+x /bin/pretence Note

Now mergence is installed and ready to use.
Important
Read the scripts before executing, to make sure they are not doing anything you wouldn't want done. It's an easy read. You may want to tweak the commands and their options to better suit your system's needs.
