The point with "USE=-*" is to create your own base profile. E.g. when I upgraded my old Dell Core2 Duo from 32 to 64 bit Gentoo, I dropped "USE=-*". I went from... USE_BASE="-* a52 aac bzip2 cxx fortran ncurses netifrc nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive openssl posix readline ssl threads vim-syntax zlib X dga dri exif ffmpeg flac classic gif intel jpeg mng mp3 mpeg ogg opengl png rtmp theora tiff truetype vorbis xcomposite webm x264 xpm xv xvid xvmc" ...to... USE="X apng bindist ffmpeg jpeg png truetype xorg -acl -berkdb -chatzilla -cracklib -crypt -gallium -gdbm -gmp-autoupdate -gstreamer -iconv -introspection -ipc -iptables -ipv6 -libav -llvm -nls -openmp -pam -roaming -sendmail -tcpd -udev -unicode" So I went from "-*" plus add a lot of USE flags to default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib and negating a lot of USE flags. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
