Ok, I tried to emerge networkmanger and it tries to pull a bunch of dependencies which I do not need, e.g. x11-proto, x11-libs. I already set use flag to -X because for now I will be happy with console mode, but it still tries to pull them. How do I tell portage not emerge unneeded dependencies? Thanks |
