Hello, |
| 2 |
Just looking for some opinions here. What is a good approach to |
| 3 |
installing applications with a minimal amount of optional USE flags enabled? |
| 4 |
For example, if one were to run `emerge -pv kde-base/kde` you would be |
| 5 |
presented with many, many dependencies and USE flags. I would prefer to |
| 6 |
install less upfront and add on later as needed. Doing an `emerge -pv |
| 7 |
$packagename` then looking through the dependencies and their USE flags each |
| 8 |
time, to me, doesn't seem like the best method. I took a look at the list |
| 9 |
of USE flags at http://www.gentoo-portage.com/USE and disabling dozens of |
| 10 |
them in /etc/make.conf doesn't seem like a great method either. I'm trying |
| 11 |
to avoid a big, bloated system without going too crazy here. Any |
| 12 |
suggestions? |
