In fact, on this laptop, if all I do is change the profile I've selected then -ep @system results: 10.0 -> 167 packages 10.0/desktop -> 191 packages 10.0/gnome -> 268 packages 10.0/kde -> 191 packages 10.0/developer -> 245 packages 10.0/no-multilib - 167 packages 10.0/server - 145 packages So, as you can see, even the profile you choose has a big effect on a system with very few use flags in make.cong or package.use. - Mark
