Your best option is to > just decompress that stuff on your system. (Gentoo is famous for > its excessive configurability - maybe there is even an option?) We are both famous for our excessive configurability and there is even an option already! 5:) If you look in the manpage (once you've decompress it somewhere, or online at [1]) for make.conf, you'll see the entry for PORTAGE_COMPRESS, which you can set as follows: PORTAGE_COMPRESS=3D"" As mentioned in [2,3,others]. You'll then need to reinstall all packages. If you manually decompress the files, then the uncompressed manpages won't be registered with portage and won't get removed if the owning package is uninstalled. Hope that helps...
