Well, to quote a old song, you ain't seen nothing yet. It amazes me that you can ask how to find out something and you get about 5 or 6 different ways to do the same thing. That's not even counting different options that can be used for the same command. I would urge you to check into the "q" command and equery. I !think! the "q" command is part of portage. It may be part of gentoolkit tho. Just the "q" command has more than a dozen different things it does. equery can do a lot too but some say it has some "accuracy" problems at times. It works for my little simple stuff tho. Hope that gives you a little more pointers. Dale :-) :-)
