I did something similiar a little while ago. I never installed Gnome |
| 30 |
but I did not unset the gnome in the USE line so they were pulled in as |
| 31 |
dependancies. Make sure you run revdep-rebuild -p afterwards. You may |
| 32 |
have some things that you will have to re-compile. Make sure you have |
| 33 |
-gnome in your USE line. I think you have to put -eds, -gtkhtml and |
| 34 |
-bonobo in the USE line as well. Recheck that to make sure. Your |
| 35 |
mileage may vary by what you actually want to keep. You can view the |
| 36 |
descriptions in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc to make sure. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I also did this once to. emerge -ep world | grep gnome just to make |
| 39 |
sure I had all the gnome base stuff. It will show up if you missed |
| 40 |
something. May take a while on a slower rig. |

Hope this helps. |
