Sure, I've worked that way as well. A great addition is: emerge eix and run 'update-eix'. This builds a database of installed packages. Then % eix gentoo-sources(or vanilla-sources or whatever) will list all the available ebuilds for gentoo-sources and highlight those that portage thinks are installed. 'unmerge'ing those you don't want will clean up portage's database of installed packages. Doesn't remove /lib/modules/kernel-version/ though or old kernels from /boot/. Seems that manual deletion is required here. HTH BobS -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

'unmerge'ing those you don't want will clean up portage's database of installed packages. Doesn't remove /lib/modules/kernel-version/ though or old kernels from /boot/. Seems that manual deletion is required here. That's because one may still want to use a compiled kernel after the removal of the kernel sources. The second thing is that sys-kernel/gentoo-sources does only refer to the kernel sources and not to your self-made kernel. If the kernel were made/compiled by portage like any other program, portage would remove it. But unless this does not happen (and by the way is not possible yet), why should portage clean up the things it has not caused? rgds Bernhard -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
