Hi, |
| 13 |
This is the way to go, but unmerge only the "gnome-base/gnome" as it's a |
| 14 |
'meta-package' for whole 'gnome' DE. Then run: 'emerge depclean -pv'. |
| 15 |
Check the packages and unmerge them in smaller groups after which run |
| 16 |
'revdep-rebuild' to check for unmerge errors. |
| 17 |
If you more confident look at gnome dependencies (in the gnome-ebuild). |
| 18 |
PS:Consider removing (also) the gnome USE-flag from /etc/make.conf but later |
| 19 |
will have to re-emerge some packages (due to changed USE flag). |
