Re: [gentoo-user] How do I dump use flags?
Ignore the bit about symlinks. Sorry talking garbage. Not sure what I was thinking but trying to suggest there is a use flag called symlink. Its not related to this.

Re: [gentoo-user] How do I dump use flags?
There is a profile for gnome I believe. Try eselect profile list which should list available profiles including a gnome. You will need symlinks in USE flags in make.conf to get eselect to work and reemerged world. Not sure how good profile is but sure some gnome users should be able to help. --Original Message-- From: Felix Leif Keppmann To: Gentoo ReplyTo: Gentoo Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] How do I dump use flags?

Besides the emerge --info examples already given, if you have gentoolkit installed, you can use euse -i which, in the example above, lists out all the flags, where they come from and which package uses them. It doesn't accept ctrl-C. ;-( Typically, though, you would use: euse -i dhcp to see what the dhcp use flag does. OK, thanks for telling about euse. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
