snip... Just my two cents worth here. Often I find a need to generate a duplicate of an existing gentoo installation and to ease the build process I run this script via cron... #!/bin/sh rm /portage.list/*.* emerge -pe --color=n system > /portage.list/system.list emerge -pe --color=n world > /portage.list/world.list Basicly it generates a list of installed ebuilds for both the system and world model. In my normal backup routines I add /portage.list... A great way to help rebuild an exact duplicate of an existing gentoo box. Cheers... -- From the Desk of: Jerome D.
