[gentoo-user] uninstall a bunch

[Rakotomandimby Mihamina]

Hi,
I emerged gnome and gdm.
It installed more than 100 other dependencies. Ok. It's fine.
Know I want to remove all gnome and its dependencies and come back to a
light system (without gnome and gdm and its dependencies).
How could I do?
Is there a log file I could grep to get the list of the software
installed by the last emerge call?
Thank you.

emerge -C gnome - this removes the meta-package

emerge --depclean --pretend - this removes all unneeded packages, such as
those that were dependencies of the gnome meta-package Read the warning
from depclean.

You should add -gnome to USE and do 'emerge -uavDN world' before running
depclean.

To be precise, I had to install 283 softwares.
So, I did:

	# grep 283 /var/log/emerge.log | grep completed
	114911668: completed emerge (1 of 283) dev-libs/glib-2.10.3 to /
	[...]
	1149116482: completed emerge (7 of 283) virtual/xft-7.0 to /

Then :
	# grep 283 /var/log/emerge.log | grep completed \
			| awk '{print $8}' > /root/unmerge.txt

Then I just have to loop to unmerge all.
