how do i find out what package i need to emerge so i can use nslookup.
it's something i've been wondering for a while and i just thought it
could fit in this thread even though the poster got the answer to his
question.
thanks all
It's not easy under any system. My favorite was trying to figure out how
to get uuencode stuff under Redhat. It's the sharutils package in case
you were wondering.
Google and the Gentoo forums are your friends when trying to find what
installs what though most of it fairly straightforward. Gentoo does have
some unique issues because the Gentoo "system" is fairly stripped down
so things like dig, telnet, or ftp are missing until you add them.
That's much of the appeal to many people.
emerge bind-tools to get nslookup, dig, host, etc.
