Well, it's pretty convoluted, but the following method will tell you what files will be installed by a package if you NEED to know: ebuild <ebuild path> install cd /var/tmp/portage/<package name>/image find . -printf '/%P\n' This will display the files that will be installed on your filesystem, along with directories that will be created if they do not exist. Note that using ebuild instead of emerge will cost you automatic dependancy fetching, and that /var/tmp should be replaced with your PORTAGE_TMPDIR. If everything checks out, you can save yourself some time by installing with 'ebuild <ebuild path> qmerge', but be forewarned that the package won't be added to your world favorites file. -Eamon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
