[gentoo-user] ufed questions

[sean]

Trying out the program for the first time and one simple question is if 
you choose an item how do you specify that you want it to be a '-'?

Pressing the space bar selects it, and adds it to make.conf with a +, 
but how do you get it to add with the '-' in front of it?

if the flag is on by default from make.defaults or from your profile,
there would by a + sign appearing in the first two columns... if you
then make sure to _unselect_ that item, it would be recorded in
make.conf with a - sign.

In otherwords, ufed only records a -flag for those enabled in the
profile or in the defaults. It saves space.

A suggestion that many on this list seem to follow is to select the -*
flag and only add the flag you need.

It's been a while since I last used it, but as far as I remember it will do 
that only if an item is in the defaults AND you unselected it. No point in 
having it disabled in make.conf if it wasn't enabled in the first place.

But from what I read, or at least thought I read, plus replies to 
another question I posted, I needed to add -gnome and -eds because I do 
not want this options when I was emerging gaim, and manually adding them 
was the only way.
