One can make an easy test to see how that works: USE="-kde" emerge -e @system -vp Total: 181 packages emerge -e @system -v Total: 436 packages, The kde-useflag pulls in a waste of packages In my system-set are 50 packages: emerge @system -vp Total: 50 packages Greetings Sebastian Beßler
This is what I got with that: Total: 294 packages (294 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB With the kde USE flag: Total: 401 packages (401 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB That's a big difference. This is my system and world info: Packages installed: 929 Packages in world: 94 Packages in system: 50 Required packages: 929 Dale :-) :-)
