emerge -e world should catch everything on your system. This will rebuild everyting in the world files, their dependencies and "system" packages. The only things I can think of that would be left out are packages not listed in /var/cache/edb/world, whether by design or accident. (Also left out would be dependencies of unlisted packages which aren't caught by listed packages.) The above is the world according to me, and may be wrong. Now, I'd like to twist your question and ask: why wouldn't it? -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
