Thank you all, yes good advice. I have removed most of the entries from the "USE=" what is left (and I'm not even sure I need them). USE="-qt4 -kde -gnome -arts -berkdb -acl X gtk alsa cups apache2 ssl udev tiff png usb scanner cgi nptl type1 -systemd" I'll let the portage handle it, I use XFCE for desktop. -- Thelma
