ufed is Article description::an ncurses-based USE flag editor designed to simplify configuration of a system's USE flags.
Installation
USE flags
There are currently no available USE flags for app-portage/ufed itself. The irony!
Emerge
root #emerge --ask app-portage/ufedUsage
Screenshot of app-portage/ufed-0.92
Start the program from a command-line with the ufed command. It may take a few seconds for the program to open; do not be alarmed if it seems like nothing is happening, just wait a little longer.
root #ufed Note
Since ufed has the ability to modify important system files, it can only be started using the equivalent of root privileges. Normal users can use sudo if it is installed on the system, otherwise access to the root account is needed.
