Well, I read you can put something in your make.conf USE line that |
| 48 |
disables most of the profile. I think it is |
| 49 |
"-*" or something like that. It disables the USE part at least. You |
| 50 |
can then start with basically nothing and build your own. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Want to hear something else funny, there is talk of having a KDE profile |
| 53 |
and some have mentioned a Gnome profile as well. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
No matter what you chose to use, you can still override the settings if |
| 56 |
you need to. That's what make.conf is for. |
