No wonder you find world unsatisfactory. Unless you use --oneshot every time, your world file has already been rendered useless. > Otherwise, I keep a list of all the packages I have installed > -- something Gentoo should provide automatically, but 'world' doesn't, Yes it does. world provides a list of all packages YOU have installed. It does not provide a list of all installed packages, which is something very different. qpkg -I equery list find /var/db/pkg -name '*.ebuild' will all do this. There are probably other ways to get a list of all installed packages, but those are three to keep you going for now. -- Neil Bothwick Deliver a pizza? Whoever heard of a liver pizza?
