distfiles is where Gentoo keeps the tarballs it downloads.
It's updated if there is a new tarball or you are merging
a new package. If you want to do a backup check the
archives of this list for a discussion on what directories
can be skipped along with the pros and cons of skipping
them.

WOW that was quick!
When one emerge syncs is the entire /usr/portage except
distfiles restored?
Thanks,

Hello Mike, Brett
Thanks for the quick replies.
I'm backing up a box and wanted to see if I could get a
fully functional
system on a single CDR.
But could I conclude from the size of the source too?
TIA,
j

Or use find to get ones above/below a certain size. Or
pipe the ls output to sort <G>.

I was wondering if there was a easy way to list my
installed pkgs by

If you're talking about the tarballs themselves, just do
a:
ls -lSr /usr/portage/distfiles
