Re: [gentoo-user] How do I dump use flags?

["JDM" <jdm@arcticwolf.myzen.co.uk>]

There is a profile for gnome I believe.

Try "eselect profile list" which should list available profiles including a gnome.

You will need symlinks in "USE" flags in make.conf to get eselect to work and reemerged world.

Not sure how good profile is but sure some gnome users should be able to help.

Hey Alan,

to get the current USE flags use

emerge --info

and look at USE="..."

This does not include local use flags, for those you should check your files in
/etc/portage/package.use or /etc/portage/package.use/


Cheers
