[gentoo-user] Programs not in /var/lib/portage/world

2005-05-26 Thread Kent Borg
There are various packages on my system that are not listed in /var/lib/portage/world, most recently I notice Firefox is one. Any ideas why that might be? (And what other packages is my /var/lib/portage/world missing?) Thanks, -kb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] How do I slow down a video game?
