Oops, I forgot to ask: It may be very important -- but I don't have a clue what a MythTV server does or what packages it depends on. Does your server use something like Apache/php to do the serving, and do you really need php to do it? MythTV is digital video recording software, allowing watching/recording of things through a tv tuner card, and even pause/resume of a 'live stream'. It's heavily dependent on mysql, as I recall, and has the option to use Apache+PHP to serve up a web based interface, MythWeb, as is mentioned in the OPs reply to your question. It, however, doesn't use php's ability to interface with berkley db in any way I'm aware of, so it should safe to merely rebuild php without the berkdb use flag, then remove the db package. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy p.s. - for the OP, php is a scripting language that's most commonly used to provide dynamic web content, and as MythWeb is written in php... ;)

Does your server use something like Apache/php to do the serving, and do you really need php to do it? Walt, Thanks for the info on the USE flag. I'll try that tomorrow. As for Myth and Apache, there is a MythWeb app that allows me to look at TV listings, what's recorded, what's coming up, etc. I don't even know what php is so I cannot say whether I need it or not. I suspect this is the sort of thing where a developer or whoever sets of basic profiles set something and maybe I could get rid of it if I knew what it did. It seems to be required by MythWeb and I don't seem to have any real USE flag control in MythWeb. To me Apache is just a tool, not an app, so I don't try to optimize how I use it but rather hope the Gentoo devs are making the right choices.
