Layman will still update all its overlays when you run layman -S, but portage will not see the contents. I've used this method often when I want a single package from an overlay. You may have to link more than one package to satisfy dependencies, but that is not usually the case in my experience. -- Neil Bothwick Where do you think you're going today?
