Ahhh, I see now what you are saying. Default is to use fftw unless I |
35 |
turn it off. Gotcha now. I did see what you were saying about equery |
36 |
depends though. It sort of makes assumptions on USE whether they are |
37 |
true or not. I am disabled and I hurt a lot so sometimes it takes me a |
38 |
while to get my light bulb to turn on. ;-) |

I do use some testing stuff, like KDE and some other things that won't |
41 |
make me bork up to much. I do try to be very careful though when it |
42 |
comes to things like python, gcc and those critical things. I messed up |
43 |
my system once and had to install from scratch and I learned to be |
44 |
careful. Gentoo is a bit harder to install and takes longer too than |
45 |
say Mandriva. I knew they wouldn't set my system on fire but I always |
46 |
ask first before I do anything I may regret. I'm also on dial-up so I |
47 |
prefer not to have to download ALL the source stuff again either. |

I see what you are saying and have learned a lot. Thanks for the help. |
