Link between the profile and the USE flag
 
Hey all,

I installed Gentoo from "scratch" a few days ago.

I had to choose my profile during the installation.
And I had to set up the USE flag.

Is there a link between these two informations?

What does it imply to take, for example, the server profile?

Thanks

What do you mean when you said 'profile'?

This:

Code:
# eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
  [1]  default/linux/x86/10.0 *
  [2]  default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop
  [3]  default/linux/x86/10.0/server
# eselect profile set 2

I *think* it sets up the default use flags for a perticular type of system.

For example most server systems will always be -X.

Of course you can override this via make.conf, it just means you have to configure less.

YMMV
