18 I was rather thinking to have less. Default settings for 10.0:
19 USE="acl amd64 berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cups cxx dri fortran gdbm
20 gpm iconv ipv6 mmx modules mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly
21 openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline session sse sse2 ssl sysfs
22 tcpd unicode xorg zlib"
23
24 cups, ipv6, perl, xorg, nls, pam, etc... do we need them?
25 tbh I build up my clusters from "-*" because default is to bloated...
26 Also setting things like FEATURES="nodoc noman noinfo nonews" would be
27 nice on nodes.
28 Cheers,
29 Kacper
