It may be too late now, but in your shoes I'd have started with the default profile instead of the desktop; that would have avoided pulling in large numbers of packages that you didn't need until you were ready to install a desktop. Although I run a KDE desktop on this box I still have the default profile from when I rebuilt it last month. If I set profile 3 (desktop), then emerge -puDvN world, I get: --->8 Total: 66 packages (21 new, 1 in new slot, 44 reinstalls) Most of those are from the application of a few USE flags, so maybe I can now set the desktop profile. -- Regards, Peter --nextPart2341503.T5rc2B7kAf Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"

It may be too late now, but in your shoes I'd have started with the default profile instead of the desktop; that would have avoided pulling in large numbers of packages that you didn't need until you were ready to install a desktop. Although I run a KDE desktop on this box I still have the default profile from when I rebuilt it last month.

 

If I set profile 3 (desktop), then emerge -puDvN world, I get:

--->8

Total: 66 packages (21 new, 1 in new slot, 44 reinstalls)

 

Most of those are from the application of a few USE flags, so maybe I can now set the desktop profile.
