8 If you want the full KDE then select the kde desktop profile. If you instead
9 want a slimmer, generic desktop you can consider:
10
11 $ ls -la /etc/make.profile
12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 Dec 16 15:00 /etc/make.profile ->
13 ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop
14
15 This is what I use and the vlc USE flag is not set by it as a default:
16
17 $ euse -i vlc
18 global use flags (searching: vlc)
19 ************************************************************
20 no matching entries found
21
22 local use flags (searching: vlc)
23 ************************************************************
24 [- ] vlc (media-libs/phonon):
25 Install VLC Phonon backend

31 Have a look under /usr/portage/profiles/targets/*
32
33 You want to look at the make.default files in there for each respective
34 profile.
