quick question,

I have modified the USE variable in make.conf like the install docs say, do I have to include all the flags from the make.default USE variable as well?

ie

make.default: USE = "kde"

make.conf USE = "gnome"

does this equal USE = "gnome kde" or just "gnome"

thanks

equals "gnome kde". If you want gnome and [b]not[/b] KDE, you should write "gnome -kde"

Code:
emerge -p <package>

would let you know what packages it wants to emerge, so in your case you could have tried to emerge a package you know supports kde for instance, and see if it wanted to emerge kde, which would have led you to know that it would equal "gnome kde". just my 1 cent :) (not worth 2 cents this info.. lol)
