Please don't use images on websites like that for command output, rather just copy the text from your console into the body of the mail. > Can this be done after a emerge --depclean, while booted on some > newly emerged kernel? --depclean is unlikely to do that as kernel sources almost always end up in world. It will behave different if you emerge the sources with -1 The running kernel has nothing to do with what portage may or may not do with your installed sources, much like how KDE will still run fine regardless of whether you have the tarballs downloaded or not, or whether you have KDE source trees lying around or not. I don't know what the answer to your question is, your statements are vague and only apply to principles but you want specifics. You are going to have to look inside those directories and see what is there, because I can't. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
