Ahhh, so a specific version can be placed in there just like in the world file. Neato !!! Lets say I have a set named dk-kde, with the prefix Allen suggested, and I put kde-meta in that file. Would that emerge all the KDE or just that one package? I emerged kde-meta to install KDE so that is all there is in my world file right now. I notice you have several kde packages in your list. I'm going to do some reading on the links already posted in a bit. Getting ready to cook a roast. Got to peal taters, wash carrots and slice up a onion. Thanks Dale :-) :-)
