I usually do the system , then the world update. If you
do it daily or frequently (maybe daily isn't such a good
idea <G>) then it shouldn't be too bad. I have noticed
that if I do the emerge -u -deep world -p some of the
packages shown also show up in emerge -u --deep system -p.

OK, tell me to RTFM if you like, however I have read the
doc on the
gentto website regarding emerge and have not found an
answer.
I know that a 'emerge -uDp world' will list all the
packages I need to
install/update. Does 'world' include 'system' or do I
need to do that
seperately?
Secondly, downloading all the packages over a 56k modem
is a
non-starter. Espcially as I only have one phone line and
a chatty wife.
;). Is there a tool I could use to download the packages
listed by
'emerge -uDp world' onto my Debian box at work.
If so I could then burn these packages to a CD and then
install from the
CD.
