Make sure that you have understood what USE flags really do. As you're talking about a IDS, my suggestion would even be to start with all USE flags unset by default, i.e. your USE variable in /etc/make.conf should start with "-*" then. You'll probably want to add some of these to the default flags, too: nptl nptlonly ssl zlib jpeg png alsa ncurses pic nls pam. You can then specify further package specific refinements in /etc/portage/package.use. For an explanation what is happening at all, see man portage and man make.conf. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
