> Ok, I tried to emerge networkmanger and it tries to pull a bunch of dependencies which I do not need, e.g. x11-proto, x11-libs. I already set use flag to -X because for now I will be happy with console mode, but it still tries to pull them. How do I tell portage not emerge unneeded dependencies? Thanks |

You tell portage to not pull in unneeded dependencies by setting the |
| 16 |
appropriate USE flags. The people you are asking for assistance will |
| 17 |
determine this by reading the ebuild, or by using the appropriate |
| 18 |
portage tools to figure it out. You should start learning these skills |
| 19 |
yourself so you can answer your own questions. |

1. Run eix-e networkmanager. There is nothing there related to x11. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2. Read the ebuild for networkmanager-1.0.0. There is nothing in there |
| 24 |
related to x11, so that's not it. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
3. Run emerge -pvt networkmanager. This will give an indented view of |
| 27 |
what is pulling in what. Find the entries of x11-proto etc and see what |
| 28 |
is pulling them in. Investigate those packages to disable x11. |
