Oh also, not directly related to your question, but it sounds like you might be better off using something like USE="-* userprofiles ...". The "-*" turns off all default flags (which can change when changing profiles, or when installing certain packages), so that only the flags you specifically want are on. Then I would make heavy use of package.use to turn on specific USE flags for specific packages, rather than globally enabling them in make.conf. This does take a bit more care to get right, but it can result in a very lean system, with no surprises like the x11 dependancy you had today. But be really careful if you do convert to this, and don't merge anything without examining the output of "emerge -DNuvp world", and being happy with the changes it wants to make. Switching from "pam" to "-pam" has been reported to break systems, for example. Once you are happy, run the emerge for real. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
