Q1. If I modify “make.conf” file and add there “USE=” parameters before, do those changes affect “bootstrap” and “emerge system” commands during complilation? Q2. Also, can I apply a style when I can use several USE= statements like so:
USE="acpi api"
USE="gnome gtk gtk2"
...
USE="bhla bhla bhla"
Any help or goof pointer is much appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, that's what it's there for. :wink: (Well, it affects the emerge command, which therefore affects bootstrap and emerge system.)

I have no idea - try putting it in, then running emerge info to check if all your flags are as they're supposed to be (there are some defaults, so don't get too worried if you see some you didn't set...). Depending on how much portage uses bash though, I wouldn't have thought you could. Each USE= line will probably overwrite the last one.

An alternative way of doing something similar is to escape the newline character:
Code:
USE="acpi api \
     gnome gtk gtk2 \
     ... \
     bhla bhla bhla"
