I see (I think). Please bear with me while I am catching up: the script will individually emerge every KDE component as opposed to the original meta packages which brought in with them their dependencies. The latter would not have been in the world file, but by virtue of the script they will now be added - unless of course --oneshot is used. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
