 |

Is there a way to remove all the packages Gnome installed?
I installed gnome when i first installed gentoo - but i've switched to flux and i want to get rid of all the files that gnome installed. |

Well... there is a way, but it ain't easy. You probably use something which depends on some part of gnome, so you can't uninstall everything.
Take a look what gets installed when you emerge gnome. Then, one by one, do
| Code: |
qpkg -I -q <package>
|
and check the programs that depend on it. If there's one you use/need, I'd reckon you don't unmerge it 
There were some scripts to do that dependency-checking somewhere... |

And I almost forgot:
Some gnome-related ebuilds don't list ALL dependencies. When you do emerge gnome it gets deps right - however it won't work the other way.
If you get weird compilation errors later, you might have removed something it depends on but ain't in the ebuild. |
