Dale, |

As Neil states, it has a lot to do with what you told the machine to do. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I have a new, very clean, stable (not ~amd64) laptop using the kde |
| 43 |
profile. emerge -ep @system says 191 packages and I'm writing this |
| 44 |
response from that machine inside KDE so it has to be something else |
| 45 |
in your case. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I posted something a couple of years ago about using -java in |
| 48 |
make.conf because I found with +java I got almost twice as many |
| 49 |
packages in @system. (Except it wasn't @system at the time) I started |
| 50 |
putting java flags in package.use and got things to work the way I |
| 51 |
wanted - easy to rebuild @system, java on the packages I really wanted |
| 52 |
java support. I suspect what you are seeing is far more in that vein |
| 53 |
than anything else. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Good luck, |
| 56 |
