Hi, sure I want to know what they do mean and I hope I already do with those I defined for my make.conf. The point is another. Like I set up another PC with other cpu and gpu I want to be able to just copy and past those use flags not related to hardware very easy. One the other hand hardware use flags shouldn't change for my pc so I do now "don't touch this area" :-) Doesn't this make sense? kh
