Of course you meant to say "--tree --pretend". :-)

Start with -* then add only the USE flags you want. Make sure you
include readline.

Add --tree (-t) to the options to see what is pulling in X.

you can make it look like this USE="-* perl acl acpi hardened kerberos
krb4 ssl dvd sse mmx lm_sensors"
The first "-*" disabels all and then you are sure that only what you
want's gets enabled.

try to run emerge with "-p --pretend" option, which should give you the
reason, why xorg would be emerged

[gentoo-user] server to firewall conversion

[James]

Hello,

I've been pruning down a server to become a minimal firewall. Slowly
removing packages, running 'revdep-rebuild -p' removing packages
and so on. Now I've got my make.conf looking like this:

USE="perl -gtk -gnome -qt -kde  acl acpi hardened kerberos krb4 ssl -alsa -arts/
-avi -cups -gif -gstreamer -gtk2 -jpeg -motif -mp3 -mpeg -ogg -oggvorbis /
-png  -quicktime -spell -vorbis -X  -xmms -xv dvd -cdr sse mmx  -cups  /
-jack   -php -tiff  lm_sensors  -mozilla doc syslog "

Anything else I should add/subtract from the USE flags?

When I run a emerge -uavDN world, it still wants to rebuild some X packages:
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 

Somehow, I think I've missed a few things as I definately want X, kde and gnome
removed from the server-to-firewall.

thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.

James
