Or in the handbook, Working with Portage, Diverting from the official tree, here (this is the amd64 handbook, but it doesn't matter for this): http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=3&chap=5 How did you ever get the kde-sunset overlay setup without knowing about overlays? Meanwhile, if you don't know about that, you almost surely don't know about a number of other important portage features. I'd suggest you (re)read the whole working with portage part of the handbook. It's quite possible you'll learn a lot more that'll make your gentoo life easier. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
