Use whatever suits you, portage doesn't care whether you use one file for everything or one file for each setting. My preference is to create a file for each program I use, and put the settings for dependent packages in there, that way I know what they relate to. It also means that if I remove the package, I can remove the file too. This to my mind is the key advantage of the separate file approach, a single file is too unwieldy without extensive comments, and I am too lazy to add useful comments. But it's up to you, do whatever works for your way of thinking - it's all the same to portage. One thing to be aware of is that portage adds "auto-unmask" entries to the "last" file in package.use, so I always create a zzz-auto-unmask file then transfer entries from there to the appropriate location. -- Neil Bothwick *Libra*: /(Sept 23--Oct 23)/ An unfortunate typo on your application results in your being accepted into the Legion Of Superherpes.
