emerge -s is fairly slow. If you're going to be doing a lot of searching, I suggest: # emerge esearch # eupdatedb Then esearch foo to find all packages with 'foo' in the name, or esearch -S foo to find all packages with 'foo' in the name or description (the latter will give more results). -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
