Editing make.conf is easy, knowing what to put in it is the hard part. |
| 11 |
what are all the possible flag names you can enter? There are |
| 12 |
hundreds. What do they all mean? How does enabling or disabling a |
| 13 |
particular use flag effect the build of all packages that use it? |
| 14 |
Which packages share a use flag? Which flags are mutually exclusive? |
| 15 |
Which ones are enabled by default, that you want disabled? |
