If you know the name of the package, have a look in /usr/portage with find, e.g.
cd /usr/portage find . -name 'rolo' -maxdepth 2 find . -name 'openoffice*' -maxdepth 2
Alternatively, have a trawl through the online package listing on the gentoo website.
Or try emerge search <name> e.g. emerge search kde
Broadband connected # emerge search kde > /tmp/kde-search
(kde-search is attached to this posting)
- snip -
check the results, then do the same without the -p. Then go home for the weekend. You never know, it might be done!
Just installed gentoo and from the base install it took about a day to compile and install kde (including all it's dependencies like XFree86). This is on an Athlon 1.3
