crond not enabled on installed pentoo. #164

Original source of bug was that apropos database was never populated with 
makewhatis -u.  Database should be populated by cronjob 
/etc/cron.daily/makewhatis

Root cause, cron appears to not be enabled on new installation.

I actually like cron-less machine. Cron spins my hdd every 5 or 10min.

Does it really has to be daily?
There may be a better place to create an event that script. How about 
postsync.d? autologin? local.d?

The new isos will have cron installed.  Since you are the one that controls the 
installer, make it optional when you add it.

We need "rc-update add fcron default" to be added to the installer (run in the 
chroot) but if you want to make it optional that is fine.  Could probably add 
it to the last section of setup before bootloader.

I'd close it as "wontfix". Fix it if you care
