[1] http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20060116-newsletter.xml [2] http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20060612-newsletter.xml Thanks for the links. They explained alot. I now understand what is meant by the USE parameters and the minus use parameters. But I have a few additional questions. For example: from emerge -DuvpN world net-im/gaim-1.5.0 USE=eds nls perl spell tcltk* -cjk -debug -gnutls -krb4 -minimal% -nas -silc 0 kB Is there any significance to the USE color codes: RED:eds, nls, perl, spell GREEN: tcltk* BLUE: -cjk, -debug, -gnutls, -krb4, -nas, -silc YELLOW: -minimal% And also, is there any significance to * and % tcltk* -minimal% Thanks for the your input.

RED means that the flag is currently set, and will still be set when you compile. BLUE means the same as the minus sign, meaning that the flag is currently unset and will still be unset when you compile. GREEN means the same as the *, it means that the flag will be changed compare to the current version. For example, in your output, that means that the previous version of gaim was compiled without tcltk support, and the new one will be compiled with tcltk support. YELLOW is the same as %, it means that the flag did not exist for the previous version. W -- Last year I tried to borrow pencils and pens and hold them together while rotating myself.
