Emerge System *after* bootstrap/reboot

Not sure if I have completely wasted my time here, I hope not!

I've done a Stage 1 install right through to the end and rebooted.

Everything is working as I expect it to.

But, when doing the initial install, I didn't set the USE flags.

Now having set them, if I do an 'emerge system -p' I get nothing listed.

I know if I did this having set the USE flags during the intial install, I would have gotten a long list of everything that would be merged.

Is there some way I can get it to take into account the newly added flags, and produce the proper list again ?

I've done env-update and rebooted, but that doesnt make any difference.

You might want to look at /etcc/make.profile/use.defaults. I would guess that maybe your just restating the defaults. Then you need to run "emerge world -uDvp"

That's toatally ok. There are little packages in system that can be customized using USE flags. (And what's already emerged isn't listed anymore => see man emerge for more options and background on switches)
What I suggest is:
