I did try installing on that netbook without "-*" in USE. Part way |
| 12 |
through the install, I already had more exclusion statements in |
| 13 |
package.use, than I have inclusion statements in a full install with |
| 14 |
"-*". It's a tradeoff, and I'm willing to do the extra work. On an old |
| 15 |
Atom netbook, I want to avoid running unnecessary stuff. Let's just say |
| 16 |
that optimised Gentoo is way faster on the netbook than the Windows |
| 17 |
Vista that it came with. |
