1 Also, check on the gentoo wiki for the use flag how-to that explains what
2 they are all for. Honestly you don't need that many use flags. The problem
3 for you now is that you have you system built, which means you may have a
4 large number of unnecessary addons to many packages, also you may have
5 complete packages which are not needed. IMHO, depending on how far along
6 your system build is, it might be easier to re-install the system then to
7 trim down a huge number of use flags.
