So considering there is the ebuild lists on my drive I simply typed "locate <package name>" and it came up with all that were on there... Then I simple looked either in the ebuild or the package.mask to see if they were masked and if not used the "emerge =/<package type>/<package name with partial version number>.*" -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
