Just in case you are talking about editing the files in profiles, that |
| 10 |
won't work long term. Keep in mind that each time you run emerge --sync |
| 11 |
those files will be overwritten. It is not a good idea to edit anything |
| 12 |
in /usr/portage since it will update when you sync again. |

If you want to enable/disable features in the profiles, do that in |
| 15 |
make.conf instead. That is where you put in your final wishes. |
| 16 |
Example: cups is enabled as a USE flag in the profile and you do not |
| 17 |
want cups enabled. Put -cups in your make.conf and it should be |
| 18 |
disabled. The reverse is also true. If you want cups but it is |
| 19 |
disabled in the profile, you can add cups to your USE line in make.conf |
| 20 |
and it will be enabled. |

Hope that helps. |
