I'm trying to get my arms around the USE flags. I found a set of 'default' settings (I think) under /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults . From what I've read in the gentoo documentation, this seems to be a list of default USE= flags. What I'd like to try and get to is, a difference between what's there and the 'total' list, and why would I add others to my own make.conf file? Thanks, as always, for the input.
