thank you for reply , Oleg.
and i don't understand the purpose of using mix-ins.
reason why i was confused to install gnome is that
1. epro list ( show option gnome and gnome-3.16-fixup )
2. epro mix-ins +gnome ( i suppose it is version gnome-3.14 )
3. emerge @world
after all package emerged. fail to login ( some packages not install yet !)
so
4. emerge gnome
after all packages emerged. sucess to login, but the version is gnome-3.16.
my confusion arise
in past if i want to install gnome, i just edit make.conf to add gnome USE flags and emerge gnome.
if i use mix-ins function , did i just install as above ( 2 and 3 ) and command emerge gnome (4) is not necessary?
or did the function mix-ins just easy way ( changing the USE flags) and i need to do as above ( 2 + 3 + 4 )?
english is not my mother language, forgive me if my question is not clear enought. thx.

Hi guys,
Forgive me if this is not the place to ask my question.
Recently i install funtoo to my laptop amd64 -A6 dual boot with win10, i follow the installation guide to emerge kernel+xfce4+refind uefi, everything alright and boot without problem. Then i tried to use gnome and follow the guide using epro mix-ins gnome and emerge @world,
process completed and start gnome, but it show me that i miss something not install and falllback.
So i tried emerge -va gnome , it take more than 170 packages to be installed which included 'apache'. then i was confused.
My question is that
apache is / not required for installing gnome? i don't need it becasue i already emerge nginx+php+mariadb
# epro mix-ins +gnome | emerge @world . this mix-ins command will do everything for installing gnome, or just parrt of it. And i need to emerge gnome just like old school method ?
this is confusing me and anyone can help please.

how to dual boot win10
in Installation Help
Posted
after new update refind-0.10.4-r1, it freeze on boot ( blank ). setting unchanged after refind-install.
i have separate partiton for window bootloader /dev/sda2 and linux bootloader /dev/sda7.
so , i emerge grub and successfully boot with funtoo linux, but win10.
my /etc/boot.conf :
boot {
generate grub
default "Funtoo Linux"
timeout 3
}
display {
gfxmode 1024x768
}
"Funtoo Linux" {
kernel bzImage[-v]
}
"Funtoo Linux genkernel" {
kernel kernel[-v]
initrd initramfs[-v]
params += real_root=auto rootfstype=auto
}
"Windows 10" {
type win8
params root=/dev/sda2
}
----------------
and in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
...
menuentry "Windows 10" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
set root=(hostdisk//dev/sda,gpt2)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set DCF9-67D7
chainloader +4
}
when boot to window 10 - error incorrect path
then i add following lines to /etc/grub.d/40-custom
menuentry "Windows 10" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
set root=(hostdisk//dev/sda,gpt2)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set DCF9-67D7
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
and try using boot-update ,not successd, it seems ignored grub settings.
then i edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
add this 'chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' in menuentry windows 10, it work.
i know it was not good idea to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, Did anyone know how to do?
