emerge -C gnome will only remove the gnome meta-ebuild that causes the other items to be installed. You will then be able to install gnome-light quite happily, without recompiling the packages you have already installed. The reason for the Mozilla dependency is that Epiphany uses the Gecko (Mozilla) rendering engine and there are currently problems with other applications using the rendering engine supplied with Firefox. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86872 for more information if you're interested in this. Hope this helps, -- Tom Wesley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
