I tried with 'USE="-oggvorbis"', but it suppressed only 2 packages. Perhaps I need '-gnome', as I never want to use the Gnome desktop, but I'm not sure if that would suppress other things elsewhere which I want. Thanx for your customary detailed & sensible help, but something is still not quite right. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
