Yeah - once I figured out what it was doing it was a perfect solution. I ended up with 31 packages added to package.keywords and 12 to package.unmask. Big time saver. The one thing I'm not liking about it was it is that it created /etc/portagexs which now stops me from bash auto-completing my tab commands the way I'm used to doing it for all these years. A trade off... thanks, Mark
