Haven't read the link (still way too early in the morning) but I often still find howtos that say to put USE on the command line. This old syntax is very much deprecated, mostly because you will forget that you did it, the current supported method is to put the same flag/feature/whatever in make.conf or per-package in package.use, where portage will remember it for you -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
