What we want is just a variable in make.conf INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/doc /usr/share/man /usr/share/info" which would mean that files in those dirs will not get installed. In the meantime you could create a small wrapper for emerge that just removes all the files from thos directories. Paul -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
