I guess I just want sources for stuff like glibc, utils like find, grep, etc which tend to form the base OS. I could do that on a per-package basis, like 'emerge glibc -f', etc but I was hoping for a meta-port (I am not sure what it is called here) that has all of this. (I am still learning how to use portage and its various utilities; I am a gentoo user since about 4 days now, coming from FreeBSD). kaarthik -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
