I=20 may be able to disable or remove some others that are not needed or=20 outdated but still, kde would be there. I just wonder if the devs have noticed how much this has grown when=20 packages with X flags are included in the system set?. Would Gnome do=20 the same? What about other GUI's? If I do this: USE=3D"-*" emerge -pv system I get this: Total: 50 packages (50 reinstalls) What a difference USE flags makes huh? Dale :-) :-)
