I finally rebuilt my system, after nearly three months.  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.

Alan

I consider that the golden rule requires that if I like a program I
must share it with other people who like it.
