for example let's say i install gnome... then i want to uninstall gnome... but first time i didn't do an "emerge gnome" because i didn't want all those gnome-gadgets, gnome-games, gnome-toys, so i did an "emerge nautilus gnome-desktop gnome-session" and that got me all i needed. but now when i do an "emerge unmerge gnome-session gnome-desktop nautilus" it removes only those 3 packages, and not their dependencies ( like esound, orbit, gconf, gnome-vfs ) usually i solved these problems on mandrake the following way: i did an "urpme gtk" this command removed gtk and all gtk using packages ( that mean the complete gentoo also ) .. i wrote on a paper what packages i want to reisntall from the list of uninstalled packages. gabor -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
