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 -- _______________________________________________________________ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!
