Maybe it's time to make a backup, then remove all USE flags from make.conf and package.use, set your profile to default/linux/<arch>/10.0/desktop/kde and rebuild. Alan and Neil's idea of a set of the meta-packages you want sounds good to me too. Then you'll really have a clean system. I may follow suit - I built this system with kde-meta for simplicity, but of course it now has a lot of stuff I don't want, including Fortran. I tried rebuilding with -fortran as I said a few minutes ago, but portage wanted ifc instead. -- Rgds Peter
