Yes and no. Yes, because I add a given flag to USE in /etc/make.conf. If emerge want it, when I do the following command: # emerge kde-meta After this command, emerge tell me that I must to use e.g. X, so I add a given flag to USE="X jpeg png -debug" etc. to file /etc/make.conf. No, because I put it to /etc/make.conf, not as you show all in one line: # USE="X jpeg png -debug" emerge kde-meta I do not do as above line. > If it is how you're doing it, then I would suggest > that you start using your /etc/portage/package.use file instead (it doesn't > exist by default, you have to make the directory and the file) and add the > use flags you want for the package you're about to install.
