Congratulations :-)

Some of the values come from defaults, the others are from ebuilds, which put
them into their /etc/env.d files:

% pwd
/etc/env.d
% grep -R CONFIG_PROTECT *
00basic:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gentoo-release"
09sandbox:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/sandbox.d"
20udev:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/udev/rules.d"
37fontconfig:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/fonts/fonts.conf"
43kdepaths:CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/share/config"
50gconf:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf"
50ncurses:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/terminfo"
50postgresql-eselect:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/postgresql"
98ca-certificates:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf"
98texlive:CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/language.dat.d
/etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d"

No, why?

Bye...

Thanks, a lot of useful info without having to search the docs :) I found your reply searching for info on CONFIG_PROTECT. For some reason Yahoo! never posted it. (My isp doesn't sponser a mail service ;()

What I meant by "setting myself up" was that as I install more and more packages it would seem any mistake I make now will be magnified. 

For instance, it appears CONFIG_PROTECT kept some important files in /etc/ after my trying to uninstall cpufreqd and cpufrequtils. Does this mean I need to turn on and off CONFIG_PROCTECT on an adhoc basis? Or is there some option to send to paludis to remove everything when it comes time to uninstall? I don't see anything under $man paludis -> Uninstall options. It's not a dependancy thing is it? 

Anyways, my aim is to smooth the "way forward" before I get in too deep.
