Thank you all for persisting with me. :-) I'm afraid the -semantic-desktop USE flag did not cut it. So, I emerged dev-libs/soprano with -java +redland and all seems good. A few more things that look odd are: [ebuild N ] net-libs/libvncserver-0.9.1 USE="jpeg zlib -no24bpp -nobackchannel" 1,036 kB [0] [ebuild N ] sys-boot/lilo-22.8-r2 USE="-device-mapper -minimal -pxeserial -static" 431 kB [0] [ebuild N ] dev-games/libggz-0.0.14.1 USE="-debug -gnutls" 467 kB [0] [ebuild N ] dev-games/ggz-client-libs-0.0.14.1 USE="-debug" 600 kB [0] I don't really need a vnc server on this machine. I also don't need games and I prefer GRUB to LILO. So why is KDE4 springing all these goodies onto me? How should I tell it not to? -- Regards, Mick
