1 Hi all,
2 my first post to Gentoo lists!
3 I already installed Gentoo some time ago, and want to restart
4 now from zero, to see how much I've learnt in the meantime.
5 My biggest doubt has always been which USE flags to use.
6 I do a lot of home work with multimedia stuff (audio, video...)
7 and need also a lot of scientific and programming stuff.
8 Tiny spare time is used to study networking and such.
9 So I put together a list of flags, that at first sight looks
10 huge; here it is:
11
12 USE=" cups eds emboss foomaticdb gdbm gnome gpm gstreamer
13 imlib libg++ libwww mad mpeg -nptl pdflib spell
14 truetype-fonts type1-fonts X xml aac aalibaccessibility acpi
15 alsa arts avi bitmap-fonts bidi bluetooth bonobo bzip2
16 cdparanoia cdr crypt cups dbus dga dio directfb dv dvb dvd dvdr
17 dvdread emacs emboss encode esd examples ffmpeg fftw flash
18 fortran ftp gb gcj gif ginac gphoto2 gps gstreamer gtk gtk2
19 guile hal hardened icq idn iee1394 imagemagick imap inifile
20 jabber jack java javascript joistick jpeg jpeg2k kde
21 kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas libcaca lirc lm_sensors matroska
22 mikmod mime ming mng mmx motif mozilla mp3 msn mysql mysqli nas
23 ncurses offensive ogg openal opengl osc oss pcmcia pdf perl php
24 png prelude python qt quicktime readline ruby samba scanner sdl
25 slang sockets socks5 sox speex spell sse sse2 ssl svg tcltk tiff
26 usb truetype unicode v4l vcd vorbis wifi win32codecs wmf
27 wxwindows xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xosd xpm xprint xv xvid
28 yahoo zlib"
29
30 First question: is it a good starting point or is it
31 excessive/unneccessary?
32
33 If I avoid putting things in does it mean that if I add them in
34 a second moment probably some of the installed stuff needs to be
35 recompiled?
36
37 Thanks, Leo
