USE="accessibility kde dbus qt3support ssl handbook exceptions" emerge -pv khelpcenter ...which would've downloaded 33 packages totalling 220 megabytes. That looks like it could be the culprit. I suggest cp /var/lib/portage/world to your user directory, and go over it with a fine-tooth comb, and ask yourself why you want each of those packages. If you want to see what each package's dependancies are, execute... emerge -pv --depclean > x.txt ...and then open up x.txt with an editor/viewer. Packages listed as pulled in by "@selected" are in world. I have a script which will generate a list of packages that can be unmerged relatively safely. You have one heckuva lot of USE flags. I start my USE with "-*" and add stuff as required. Often, I only add it to package.use. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
