Ah, the "profile" threw me. I was thinking profiles and not the emerge |
| 2 |
system I had done originally. |

I use nano so I guess I can unmerge it safely. But I'm still at a loss |
| 5 |
why the warning should come up. Emacs is not listed in base/packages |
| 6 |
nor linux-default/packages nor x86/packages and finally not in |
| 7 |
2005.0/packages. I am correct in thinking these constitute "system," |
| 8 |
right. It also is not in my make.conf nor is it pulled in by any other |
| 9 |
package (emerge info does not list it as a USE flag). |
