I responded to this sentence: >>Interested in >>figuring out what use flags were turned off? Check out >>/usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults and other use.defaults files >>that correspond to your profile. I read that to mean "compare the base use.default with the other use.defaults file and note the differences." It could also read "look at the base use.default as well as the other use.default files." It was a case of semantics and an ambiguously worded sentence, not my inability to comprehend use.defaults. > -- > Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
