I wasn't thinking about the menu app from debian (I don't have any knowledge about it). I meant to have it as a portage feature. I mentioned the /var/db/pkg/// dir because portage already stores some info about the installed packages there... > All this is a nice idea, but isn't it overkill?

Yeah, disk space is not an issue, but I don't think that a script to look for menu files under /var/db/pkg/*/*/menus/ and copy them somewhere else classifies as 'overkill'. ;) []'s Felipe _______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
