as someone already said emerge eix then run update-eix (you need to be root to do that part) this creates some sort of very quick index to your ebuilds which is MUCH faster to search than emerge -s. then just use eix searchterm to look for a package with searchterm in the name. It will also accept regular expressions so: eix ^kde$ will just return the package kde without kdemultimedia, kdebase etc etc. eix -S searchterm will also look in the description. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
