It works! Thanks! I just had to have a close look at the output of depclean as it tryed to remove "not essential" packages such as vixie-cron, or grub, cronbase, or syslog-ng ;-) I'm updating now and no more traces of xorg!

The problem is that now, I sync'ed the guest and it wants to pull an update for X and all the drivers. Frankly, I don't want to spend dozen of minutes compiling the new X when I don't need it on a VM... So my question is: how do I remove X and all its components? Thanks in advance!

[gentoo-user] Howto remove Xorg?
Hello all, I have a VM with Gentoo as guest and I don't know why, maybe I was lonely, but I tried to install X on the guest without needing it (maybe just to see how it looks to have X in X ;-)). The problem is that now, I sync'ed the guest and it wants to pull an update for X and all the drivers. Frankly, I don't want to spend dozen of minutes compiling the new X when I don't need it on a VM... So my question is: how do I remove X and all its components? Thanks in advance! Greg
