I mis-explained myself, I wanted to say "minimal" flag to my USE variable in xorg-x11>. That's /usr/portage/package.use. Thanks for the warning anyway. "minimal" USEflag enabled globally and a "emerge -vuDN world" could bedesastrous. xDD.Just to stop another potential misunderstanding: "pretender" in Spanish = "to aim to" in English. "pretend" in English is "fingir" in Spanish! Jeff Rollin

Don't add it to your global USE flags ! The minimal flag is used by several packages but you only need to activate it for a single package. You might end up with a seriously impaired system if you add it to your global flags. To activate the minimal flag only for x11-base/xorg-server add it to /etc/portage/package.use echo "x11-base/xorg-server minimal" >> /etc/portage/package.use -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You probably don't want to add "minimal" to your global USE variable, use /etc/portage/package.use instead echo "x11-base/xorg-server minimal" >> /etc/portage/package.use HTH -Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you're planning to use a remote X server you, you should compile xorg-server with USE="minimal". Then gnome can link to the libraries it needs but you don't need to install a complete X server. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
