The emerge --deep command did throw up a few others.

My world file looks a little sparse:
app-cdr/cdrtools
media-libs/libexif
www-client/opera
x11-base/xorg-x11
media-video/mplayer
media-video/transcode
media-sound/xmms
app-cdr/k3b
net-p2p/gtk-gnutella
media-libs/libsdl
media-video/vcdimager
media-gfx/imagemagick
dev-libs/libcdio
media-sound/sox
kde-base/kde
net-p2p/gift-gnutella
kde-base/kdelibs
www-client/mozilla-firefox
app-text/acroread
media-video/avifile
The world file on my 2.6 system has a lot more in it, though I'm not sure that
simply copying over the world file would be the right thing to do.
Any suggestions about how to recover my original world file?
Thanks
Jeff
