It is a little confusing, but if you stick to profiles under > default/linux you should get useful information. Interestingly, you used "var" instead of "usr". From earlier, Martin used "PORTAGE_PROFILE=/usr/portage/profiles/$PROFILE eix -c --system" Granted "$PROFILE" needed expansion, but he put "/usr" and now you have it working with "/var" at the head of the path-string. Interestingly enough, "/var/portage" is not even a dir, yet the path-string you used does work. ' PORTAGE_PROFILE=/var/portage/profiles/default/linux/arm/13.0/armv7a eix -c --system' Which does work nicely..... Care to explain? James
