The problem is, emerge should be non-interactive, meaning I could walk away for 12 hours and have it be done when I come back, not have some silly gentooconf screen waiting on the second of 250 packages. That's why USE flags are nice. Of course, if one could go through gentooconf all at once before starting, that might work too. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
