Oh and by the way if you just want the sources that Linus built, then emerge vanilla-sources, there will be no patching from the kernel.org sources. > > I still gotta man equery & which. > Next time I boot to linux. equery is a general tool for mucking about with portage, and finding info about packages. equery which <packagename> gives the full name and path of the ebuild that will be used if you emerge <packagename> eg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ equery which samba /usr/portage/net-fs/samba/samba-3.0.13.ebuild if you put the command in back-ticks ` then its like typing the output of the command inside the ` ` on the command line eg less `equery which samba` (note the backticks, they are hard to spot) is equivalent to less /usr/portage/net-fs/samba/samba-3.0.13.ebuild (except that it always gives the up to date ebuld as reported by equery) in other words its just a shortcut to read the ebuild file. Note also that back ticks are deprecated, in favour of this construct: less $(equery which samba) - which gives the same result, although there is some technical difference that doesn't matter right now. I try and force myself to use the new $() way instead of back-ticks, but its one more character to type and all that shift keying to get the $() > > Thank you again!, > robert. > > > -- > [email protected] mailing list -- Nick Rout Barrister & Solicitor Christchurch <http://www.rout.co.nz> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
