 |
|
Hello,
I used slackware for 3 years which i enjoyed very much, but most of the time you would need extra software on your system beyond the standard slackware software. I always found myself writing SlackBuild scripts and even writing scripts to automate it all. Sort of re-inventing portage  I bought myself a shiny new system, so I thought let's try gentoo and really, i like it very much, but with all that control in your hands come a few questions:
1) What are the KDE use flags you would likely not want to leave out? Always a bit afraid I forget important use flags.
2) I see a lot default USE flags that i don't know or probably ain't going to use. How do I effectively disable them? Putting them al in /etc/make.conf?
My emerge --info,

hey deli, welcome to the forum!
here's a page that explains what use flags are:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/USE_Flags

What do you need?
If you're interested in installing KDE (or KDE support), you will have to make sure that your USE variable contains the kde and qt flags. Qt is the graphical widget library that KDE uses.

Here are my USE flags for KDE apps (in no particular order):
| Code: | | alsa arts kdeenablefinal mp3 vorbis cups jpeg2k openexr spell ssl tiff slp xcomposite xmms hal dbus kdexdeltas tidy |
Also, I have a scanner so the USE flag "scanner" goes in.
And if you use digital cameras with your box you should have "gphoto2" in your flags.
Note: in my 1.8Ghz Celeron box Ive noticed a small speed up in compile time with kdeenablefinal.
And finally just for kickers here goes my complete emerge info:

This has given me a stable, speedy, fully-functional KDE box. Hope this helps you.
Extra note: To effectively disable a USE flag (say arts for example), you have to add "-arts" to your USE="" in the /etc/make.conf, this way if for example you feel no need to have xmms you only have to add "-xmms" and thats that.
