 |
|
Sorry for the noobish question, month 6 of Linux, day 3 of an actual Gentoo install 
If you have already emrged something (emerge gnome) and you did not have all the use flags set, can you go back after setting the use flags and re-emerge it?
Thanks in advance, and sorry such a simple question (I am sure it is)

Edit to add SOLVED - as well a link I should have found before asking
[url=http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Recompile_wit h_different_Use_flags] HOWTO Recompile with different Use flags [/url]
sorry, the url tags are not working for me for some reason

Of course you can!
After changing your USE flags, I'd suggest to do a It checks which installed packages are affected by your USE flag changes and thus should be rebuilt. |
