Take a look at /etc/make.profile/packages . From the intro documentation: # An initial "*" marks a package that is part of the # official "base" system profile. If there's a "*", then "emerge system" will # use the line in its calculations of what "should" be installed for this # profile. So a: grep -c "^*" /etc/make.profile/packages should do what your looking for. Good Luck, Doug
