Description D.A.M. Revok 2002-09-02 18:25:54 UTC
the USE flag howto lists a bunch of flags, perhaps current, perhaps outdated, 
but since it /doesn't/ refer us to the actual source-description-list, it has 
to always be updated /after/ the use.desc file is upated, and that isn't going 
to happen instantly.
I couldn't figure out what the correct flags were for my system, and ended up 
having to build everything from scratch several times ( partly because my 
CFLAGS update was being overwritten with 'emerge sync ; emerge rsync' before 
bootstrap ).  Please /always/ give us the link to the actual, always-current 
list, in the howto pages.

      THANK YOU for Gentoo, eh?
