Thanks Kevin.  I've been doing that lately before emerging a new package.  I'll be 
using it before I emerge any packages and turning off any flags that are reported that 
aren't needed (like aRts - it's a server, so doesn't need sound support).

But thanks for the reminder - made me think about the emerge system you have to do 
early in the install process...  should probably make that "emerge system -pv" first, 
and adjust the flags accordingly.

Shawn

You might also find that emerge -vp world is even more telling, since it'll 
tell you which flags are being used for the various packages.

Kev.
