Hi, I'm not sure if I missed something here but removing the packages from the world-file (/var/lib/portage/world) should work. Also you could emerge them using the --oneshot option in the first place to avoid adding them to the world-file. However are you really sure you want to exclude packages with frequent security-issues like firefox and the kernel from being updated? MfG Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
