That sounds like a lot of work and re-installation. The way I've done it is to edit the world file, removing anything that I don't run, then do an emerge depclean -p. anything that shows up that I want to keep, I put back with emerge -n packagename. Then run depclean -p again until I am happy with what it wants to remove. There's no point in removing and reinstalling packages, especially if you are going to to emerge -e world later. -- Neil Bothwick IBM: Inferior But Marketable.
