Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were referring to the kernel in terms of ebuild dependencies. Isn't your reason why "emerge --info" lists the kernel? (Also, the kernel probably isn't the best example, since I suspect that if there's any single package that people are likely to install outside of portage, the kernel would be it.) -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
