I've emerged some basic packages, and xorg-x11. But now I want to install gnome. If I do "emerge -p gnome", it prints out a rather hefty list of packages that will get installed. But I don't want all the stuff. I just want the basic gnome desktop, and its dependencies, but not epiphany, evolution, and the several other packages. I cannot emerge gnome-light, because it is masked. Is there any way I can install a minimal gnome system? Thanks in advance. Anand -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
