Well, when I installed Gentoo 2006.0, I used the GRP and Dynamic Stage 3, so, couldn't set my USE flags. I don't set USE at make.conf. After the GRP install, I sync'ed, then issued a "emerge -uDNpv world" and started "emerge -pv"ing each package in the list, checking USEs and writting them to package.use. After that, each and every package installed follows the same path. This way you don't loose control over your flags and avoid useless stuff (like compiling a lot of programs with KDE support when you only need kde-base because of K3B). It's just the way I do it, any comments?
