Have installed gentoo using the minimal install CD. It went easy, with a fast connection. Much easier for me than trying to do the LiveCD install. Now, I need to set USE flags, and I want to do so with care. I understand the concept, but I have to admit that I have never had enough information at my disposal to choose USE flags even half cluefully. I have seen some USE editors, but even they do not give very much useful information about USE flags. I don't want to have to do emerge --newuse yadayada very often... Can someone point me to more information on USE flags, or do I have to week through a plethora of mailing list and forum posts, and even then have no clue? Thanks for any help.
