A few things here: - A package atom is of the form: <package category>/<package name> with some optional version info - The package.use files requires a package atom and USE flag modifiers, an example is above: >=sys-kernel/installkernel-60 dracut - The IMPORTANT message is important, and the cause and solution to your troubles. The auto-stuff only creates the changes you create, but does not apply them to the live files without your help. Read the mentioned sections from the emerge man page (# man emerge), to learn about them. Regards, Arve
