12 The point with "USE=-*" is to create your own base profile. E.g. when
13 I upgraded my old Dell Core2 Duo from 32 to 64 bit Gentoo, I dropped
14 "USE=-*". I went from...
15
16 USE_BASE="-* a52 aac bzip2 cxx fortran ncurses netifrc nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive openssl posix readline ssl threads vim-syntax zlib X dga dri exif ffmpeg flac classic gif intel jpeg mng mp3 mpeg ogg opengl png rtmp theora tiff truetype vorbis xcomposite webm x264 xpm xv xvid xvmc"
17
18 ...to...
19
20 USE="X apng bindist ffmpeg jpeg png truetype xorg -acl -berkdb -chatzilla -cracklib -crypt -gallium -gdbm -gmp-autoupdate -gstreamer -iconv -introspection -ipc -iptables -ipv6 -libav -llvm -nls -openmp -pam -roaming -sendmail -tcpd -udev -unicode"

22 So I went from "-*" plus add a lot of USE flags to
23 default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib and negating a lot of USE flags.
24 Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
