===Where to begin===
Please follow [https://www.funtoo.org/Upgrade_Instructions/Next official instructions]


    Do a world update on your system and specifically ensure you have the latest portage and ego installed.
    Add "release = next" to the "[global]" section of /etc/ego.conf
    Run "ego sync"
    Then run "epro build next".
