I think - and please correct me if I'm wrong, but referring to your previous post - you have USE=extra set. You can easily set -extra -whatever just for app-text/texlive in /etc/ portage/package.use - once you appreciate it I think you may find `flagedit` quicker than `vi` for setting flags on a per-package basis. But as someone else observed, the files and bloat added by these packages will surely be very small indeed - they're probably considered a standard part of a LaTeX distribution. I don't know anything about Feynman diagrams, but you might find video projector a little misleading - Beamer is just a package of Powerpoint or presentation templates for export to print or pdf. When I was at uni the lecturers used this package to format their notes for overhead projectors, and printed them on transparency paper. Importing the package will AIUI simply result in the document being processed in a large font (of a type which is clearly legible at the back of the classroom) and bullet-points before each paragraph. You may not need this, and you may be able to disable it with USE flags, but it's so commonly referred to on the LaTeX newsgroups that I'm sure its use is unexceptional and it's really not such an unreasonable thing to include as a default.

Beamer is a lot more powerful than that now. It makes a PDF presentation document that when shown with, say, acrobat reader in full screen, actually is about as good, or better, than powerpoint, unless you need to deal with multimedia (videos and such). I can go on and on about the automated Table Of Contents and hyper-linked short cuts, and the control bar for advancing and rewinding slides that also allow you to jump to section headings.

I really advise installing all the extra stuff. Whilst I can sympathise with your desire to keep your system lean, the developers' intent is that you install app-text/texlive-2008 and that it should bring in all these dependencies. It's the difference between monolithic modular (??) packages - you wouldn't expect to install just one or two components of X11 and have a fully functional windowing system - likewise you should install app- text/texlive-2008 in order to have a fully functional LaTeX distribution. The sub-packages are not intended to be installed stand-alone - they are merely for the convenience of the devs and so that minimal work is required of your system to maintain minor updates. IMO: `emerge -C dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra dev-texlive/texlive- latex dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra emerge texlive-2008` will fix your problems - whilst keeping your *world file* lean. Stroller.

Well, I agree with you there. File a bug and see what the devs say. I suspect it has something to do with how other distros or upstream packages texlive, or the fact that if you make it infinitely configurable then you will have a whole mess of USE. Now, looking at the texlive ebuild, I think those are the only ones that stands out as can possibly belong to their own categories. I can't really imagine anything really depending on beamer...
