Meanwhile, I'll repeat an earlier question: how can I find out what binpkgs are available for a given category/package? Someone posted a way of doing that a few months ago, but I didn't write it down. I know I can see whether one is available for a certain set of USEs, but it would take a month of Sundays to go through all the possibilities in the case of Firefox. -- Regards, Peter.
