I did try installing on that netbook without "-*" in USE. Part way
through the install, I already had more exclusion statements in
package.use, than I have inclusion statements in a full install with
"-*". It's a tradeoff, and I'm willing to do the extra work. On an old
Atom netbook, I want to avoid running unnecessary stuff. Let's just say
that optimised Gentoo is way faster on the netbook than the Windows
Vista that it came with.
