Thank your for your help. I have put "dev-lang/perl -minimal" |
| 11 |
in my package.use, and doing "emerge -eav" again... |
| 12 |

Concerning your opinion about minimal-flag: |
| 14 |
I do have "minimal" and "-*" in global USE flags and I think |
| 15 |
it is a good idea. Something that belongs to "gentoo spirit": |
| 16 |
to start with minimum, and slowly add only functions which |
| 17 |
I really want and need (something similar are good firewall |
| 18 |
rules: start with everything denied, and open only what |
| 19 |
you really need)... |

Of course, sometimes one can hit the wall when the things |
| 22 |
do not work as expected (like when I emerged mysql with |
| 23 |
minimal flag, and it was not server, only client). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But this disadvantage is definitely worth having clean |
| 26 |
and compact system, and that is what I like on gentoo. |

After all, there are experienced users on list, who can |
| 28 |
always help... :-) |
