yes it does. When you emerge something, a copy of the ebuild is stored in /var/db/pkg/<category>/<nameofapp>/ (if you want to 'rescue ebuilds of removed but installed packages, just copy them). a safe way: emerge --unmerge xmms (and xmms-plugins and accesoires) emerge --newuse --deep world emerge playerofchoice -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
