The output from emerge --info shows the actual USE flags that will be used, which will be far too many if you are using a desktop profile. -- Neil Bothwick I heard Tasha Yar is the Enterprise's expert on Data entry. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Any glaring use flags here
This machine is been prepped to be a sort of DMZ machine, but not more wannabe than really since it will not route stuff to my home lan at all... just be the recipient of all blocked stuff at an upsteam NETGEAR firewall/router. I would like an opinion about the USE flags I keep in /etc/make.conf I've pared it down from a more extensive list with some quite old stuff on it. Just wanting to make sure there is no glaring incompatability. I remember seeing something about the nptl and nptlonly flags being outdated. Is that right? And I'm pretty sure -gnome -kde and -X is little overboard... but not sure what -X really does.
