for clarity, are you looking for something like emerge -pv <package>? what that does (for those who are unfamiliar with portage and gentoo) is print out a list of all the dependencies that would need to be installed for <package>. it sounds kind of like that's what you're asking for, but i'm not 100% certain... either way, i don't actually know the answer to your question, but maybe this will help someone else answer it :) -- Erin Sharmahd [EMAIL PROTECTED] CS Student Unix Users Group PGP Fingerprint: F352 FF41 EA0A 67E4 566B 3B5B E65A D3DC 083E 9336
