 Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2002 5:57 am Post subject: completely remove grub |
 |
|
| I unmerged it and deleted all of the config files (I'm a LILO man, thank you very much), but everytime I do an 'emerge -p system', it wants to reinstall grub. How can I stop it from doing this? Is there a system file similar to the world file? Thanks. |

Does removing it from /etc/make.profile/packages help?

What, just add in USE="-grub" ?
(Yes, I'm being serious with that question lol) |

I'm not positive that will work, but if grub is a valid USE flag, then yes. Also, see what rac posted.

That reminds me of something that has been on my mind for a while.
Considering all of these obscure USE options floating around, is there one repository of every single one of them, or is it a pick and choose scenario? |

The Guide to USE flags has some nice descriptions, and there's also a list in the Developers HOWTO.

You can also see the file /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc on your gentoo system.
