is it possible to change the global USE in CLD? if yes, how? (it is not in make.conf file.)
it seems most of the flags are used in USE. if i remove the unnecessary flags and recompile the system (emerge --update --deep --newuse world),will it increase the speed of the system?
sounds good!!
what about use flags. now many flags are used but many of them can be removed. will it speed up the system? how can i optimize the use flags? there is nothing in /etc/make.conf but the emerge --info show the use flags which are:

another question: is it possible to rebuild the system (by emerge -e world/system) and update the system too. will “emerge --update --deep --newuse world” the same as “emerge -e world”?
You can change the profile of CLD to the original Gentoo (eselect profile list / eselect profile set NUM). You can selectively turn off the USE flags, using the /etc/make.conf. You can put the CLS, in which a set of flags is almost unchanged, and install the necessary software suite.
There are many options. The main thing is that the system can be quickly reinstall, if you have a backup partition.
How can i find the difference between CLD and original gentoo profile (or any other 2 profiles)?
Go to the directory on the link make.profile:
cd /etc/make.profile
Look at all the path from “parent” file
cat parent
Then look package.keywords, package.mask, package.unmask files and directories.
thanks Alexander, i think the CLD profile is good for me.
i want to optimize my system regarding the System Optimization link you posted. regarding http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Safe_Cflags/AMD#Athlon_64_X2 for my system (AMD#Athlon_64_X2) i should have these lines in make.conf:
_CHOST=“x86_64-pc-linux-gnu”
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"_
but if i follow the instruction of CLD i will have:
_CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"_
which one is better?
another question is that, without installing any package (only updated the CLD) it is more that 8GB on my HD. i think many of this space is occupied by temp files. how can i remove the temp files and save the disk space.
Regards
“-march=native” better, as in this case, gcc itself determines the type of your processor.
To update the download package in the directory /usr/calculate/share/distfiles/
If you want to delete only the old source code packages are missing from the portages, use the command eclean-dist
