The app-admin/gentoolkit package has some useful tools for querying packages, most notably qpkg. For example: # qpkg -fp xlsfonts x11-base/xfree * Of course, I already have xlsfonts on my system, but I believe qpkg provides a way to query uninstalled packages too. -- Go Boilers!!! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
