Hi all,
I have recently purchased a cubieboard:
http://cubieboard.org/
which is an ARM device with SATA. It is going to become a low power
media server. I have followed the instructions on getting Gentoo onto it
as outlined here:

I get a working system up and happening when I do the first boot. I then
do the profile selection as listed but there are no server profiles, all
basically desktop orientated. I chose 27 as suggested but when I do the
emerge --pretend -NuD world
I get an emerge that has over 250 items and includes things such as
cups, libraries for image viewing etc etc, all stuff fine for a desktop
but just additional stuff that my little server won't need.
So my question is, what files do I have to fiddle to stop portage from
wanting to install all of these additional files? I've looked in the
world file and there is basically nothing there so I'm guessing it's in
the profile somewhere - but just where?
Any thought, greatly appreciated,
Andrew
