Hi, Gentoo.

How do I list out a list of current USE flags?

The reason I ask is I'm hypothesising that my recent troubles in Gnome
may be due to not having a suitable profile. I would like to select a
different profile and compare its USE flags with those of my current
profile.

emerge --info | grep USE

Hey Alan,

to get the current USE flags use

emerge --info

and look at USE="..."

This does not include local use flags, for those you should check your files in
/etc/portage/package.use or /etc/portage/package.use/


Cheers
