But, it could be related to some use-flags in your "system" packages, as when I do "USE="X" emerge -pve system" it already goes up to 151 packages. The USE-flags defined in my /etc/make.conf is limited to: USE="mmx sse sse2 opengl xinerama threads" I stick the rest in /etc/portage/package.use on a per-package basis. -- Joost
