You might want to run "enalyze rebuild use" to get an idea of what USE flags you have which do not match the default settings. Over the course of time the defaults change, and our need for certain options change, so it's good to run this and check any USE flags for situations such as yours above, where one would say, "I can't recall WHY I set it to that." If you can't find a reason then it's best to stick with the default settings most of the time. This is all that command will do on your system: mingdao@server ~ $ enalyze rebuild use -- Scanning installed packages for USE flag settings that do not match the default settings -- preparing pkgs for file entries - Saving file: /home/mingdao/package.use.test - Done Bruce -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ supp...@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
