4 I was just wondering, while watching an emerge --sync, is it possible
5 (or advisable) to limit what portage syncs? For example, I have a server
6 here that doesn't use X, kde, gnome, java, and a number of other fairly
7 large areas of portage. It would be nice if I could speed up syncing by
8 excluding these categories from the process.

10 I can understand that some people may provide reasons why this is a bad
11 idea, and I'm interested in hearing opinions or suggestions.

13 Thanks
