Someone else may see that info and find it interesting tho. Maybe someone with a laptop or a really under-powered system. I never thought about trying to get rid of it. I didn't know it was possible even. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

Having a way to easily set the colors would be easier but having to repeat things, create files to scan, use tools I'm not familiar with and such, that isn't easy. I wanted to be able to see it in the initial list, make a note of what packages I need to do things for and then hit yes to continue. Basically, I was hoping emerge had a way to do this that isn't known to me. After all, the thing all but washes dishes already. ROFL Maybe one day others will like this idea and one of them is willing to add some code to emerge to do it. Until then, I guess I'll just miss one on occasion and have to scratch my head a couple times. Thanks to all. Interesting ideas but generally over my head. :/ Something I saw elsewhere - why don't you put all of these programs into a list like @system or @world. You can exclude these programs from an "emerge @world". I don't know whether these programs will be emerged as dependencies of an "emerge @world", but if you want to know if they will be emerged, an "emerge @... --pretend" will tell you. So firstly, you know whether any of these programs are going to be emerged. Secondly, you can emerge all the hogs in one go. And thirdly, you you can emerge @world before or after. So, I guess, if you don't exclude these hogs from @world then you can just find out if they are going to be emerged (and emerge them first if you want), or if you do exclude them from @world, you can emerge them (to some extent at least) on your own timescale.

Thanks Neil. I suppose it could be a requirement for kweather to work.
Unless I can I comment it out, without causing a broken build?

The kweather ebuild contains this RDEPEND
