You may well break your system, but you get to keep the pieces as a lesson. Portage profiles set some default USE flags, then some ebuilds also set defaults. Using USE="-*" disables all of these. You can see the defaults by looking at the output from emerge --info with no USE defined in make.conf. > I am not trying to have severe control, I just want to expand my > knowledge! You will do that, but not in the way you hoped. Pick a profile that most closely matches your usage and then find tune from that by adding or removing USE flags. That's a lot easier than deliberately breaking things and then trying to work out how to fix them. Also, when setting up a new system, make USE flag changes gradually. Unless you are sure of what you are doing, only change a few at a time. -- Neil Bothwick System halted - Press all keys at once to continue.
