Hi again,
I read a thread that was talking about the global USE pulling some
things a user may not want installed. I am going to do a reinstall and
mostly copy some things over from my current install but I do want to
change my USE line. I am a bit worried about using the option they
posted, the "-*" at the beginning of the USE line. I may disable
something that I need then.
I use KDE for my desktop. I plan to have OOc installed along with java
and that sort of thing. I don't have any database software installed,
that I know of anyway. I want to make this a reasonable install this
time. I have a lot of gnome stuff installed right now and I don't use
gnome at all. I tried it, it's not for me. No offense to Gnome users.
This is my current USE line:
USE="acl acpi alsa amd arts artsd artswrappersuid -bonobo cdr chroot
clanJavaScript -crypt dbus doc -eds ethereal f-prot fdftk gaim gcj
gimpprint gkrellm -gnome gphoto2 gtk -gtkhtml hal hbci hpijs gif
innodb java javascript jbig justify kde mmx mozdomi mozilla nsplugin
ofx offensive openoffice -oss parse-clocks ppds pysol scanner scribus
sse tcltk tiff tkinter truetype tuxracer udev usb X xml xprint yahoo
3dnow "
As far as I know, they are in alphabetical order as well. I'm a
recovering perfectionist OK. LOL I'm not recovering to well either.
Is there anything that I should add to make it remove gnome or other
software that I may not be using anyway? That includes things I may
need to have the "-" in front of to override the global settings.
While I am at it, have a look at these lines as well. I like fast but
stable:
LDFLAGS='-Wl,-z,now'
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fno-ident -pipe"
I have a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ CPU with 1GB of ram. Let me know if you
see something wrong with those. So far they are stable at least.
I plan to work on my servers next.
Thanks for the help.
Dale
