1 After a month worth of holidays, I return to my computer, sync, and type
2 emerge -uva world.
3
4 Scrolling through the several screen's worth of stuff I find a few
5 'redundant' packages, like Mozilla and Epiphany (I use Firefox).
6 I use gnome, so I've always wounded up with these two packages on my system.
7 All things considered, compiling these two is a waste of space, bandwidth,
8 time and electricity.

10 How do I block these two from being compiled, despite the fact that they are
11 listed as 'dependancies' in packages I use?
