I've recently switched to fluxbox from Gnome. I now want to uninstall Gnome. I want to unmerge all of Gnome's dependencies that are not depended on by another package. Is there an easy way to go about this?
Well, you could:
# cd /usr/portage # emerge unmerge gnome-*/*
to unmerge everything related to GNOME.
Note that this will also wipe out pretty much all GTK programs. Is this what you want? Note that GNOME is an environment, while fluxbox is just a WM.
The difference is the reason I switched. If I wanted bloatware, I'd go back to Windows :) I want to unmerge all packages that were installed because of a 'emerge gnome' that are not depended on by some other package.
