Walt, Thanks for the info on the USE flag. I'll try that tomorrow. As for Myth and Apache, there is a MythWeb app that allows me to look at TV listings, what's recorded, what's coming up, etc. I don't even know what php is so I cannot say whether I need it or not. I suspect this is the sort of thing where a developer or whoever sets of basic profiles set something and maybe I could get rid of it if I knew what it did. It seems to be required by MythWeb and I don't seem to have any real USE flag control in MythWeb. To me Apache is just a tool, not an app, so I don't try to optimize how I use it but rather hope the Gentoo devs are making the right choices.
