RAR is an unusual case, with both the "mirror" and "bindist" flags set in the
binary packages: how to:
1. find out if a package is binary before you install it (e.g. where on
app-arch/rar does it say it's a binary package)
2. inhibit their installation
3. get a list of the ones installed on a system
Any ideas about that are appreciated.
I want to try some changes to an ebuild in the dotnet overlay. So, I
copied /var/lib/layman/dotnet/dev-lang/mono/mono-.ebuild into
/usr/local/portage/dev-lang/mono. I cd into that directory, and run
"ebuild mono-.ebuild manifest" and it fails because it tries to
download

Yes. It was created when I untarred the tarball from kernel.org

That's because the "minimal" install disk actually has quite a lot of stuff
One thing I should've mentioned in the first post is that booting from
the minimal install USB, wlan0 does show up, so the hardware works.
