Change USE-flags for stage builds

Hi!

I build stage1, 2 and 3 images using catalyst. But now i
want to make
them more minimal, removing USE-flags. Is this somehow
supported in
catalyst or do i have to create my own profile then? Or s it
the stage4
target i want to have a look at? Does the use option there
work exactly
as in make.conf, that my profile USE-flags are set and i
have to disable
them using -foo?

Thanks,
	Philipp

You cannot change USE from what is set in the profile on
stages 1 -> 3
with catalyst.  This is done on purpose.

You have 2 choices that we would consider "right"
as far as catalyst is
concerned.  Either make a new profile and use that, or use
the stage4
target.  Making a new profile is likely the faster and
better solution.
Yes, catalyst uses a make.conf-like syntax and it stacks
with what is in
the profile.  If you do "-kde" then it is read
like: USE="$ -kde"
when presented to portage.
