Hi,
I have a few portage "system" related questions, maybe someone
could help me or direct me to the place where I can find answers:

Q1: Where can I find what packages belong to "system" (base)?
I tried "man emerge" and it says:

/etc/make.profile/packages
Contains a list of packages used for the base system. The sys-
tem and world sets consult this file.  Do not edit this file.

But I do not have any /etc/make.profile/packages file!
I'm sure I did not change anything in portage files/directories
configuration. So where is this file gone?

Q2: Can I remove some packages which belong to "system"?
Some of them I do not need ("bc", "links"), others I'd like
to substitute ("vim" instead of "nano"). BTW, I just think
bc, links and nano belong to "system", because I have them,
but I did not emerge them manually...

And finally Q3: How can I make my own stage3-archive from
working system? Some man/help/howto could help me for sure...

Jarry
