The list of possible flags is somewhat overwhelming. And many of them, I |
| 2 |
wouldn't really know if I need them or not. So far, since I only have the |
| 3 |
base system running, I'm trying to get everything I want to have sans a |
| 4 |
graphic environment going, so I'm doing USE="-X" with the system level apps |
| 5 |
(although I don't know if that's the best plan for something like |
| 6 |
cdrtools/dvdrtools). |

|

I did find the defaults (thanks!) and have added those as comments in my |
| 9 |
make.conf file just for my own reference. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I figure that the next step (aside from the reading of the online docs) is |
| 12 |
to get cd tools and anti-virus (clam looks good) running. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
At the point that I think I have everything at this level, I intend to back |
| 15 |
it up (jic), and then install X, sound, and get a graphical environment |
| 16 |
running - at least that looks to be the most logical next steps... |

I really appreciate the feedback!!! |
