When using the ROOT= variable emerge follows the RDEPEND's if you don't have the DEPEND's installed on the host / system. If they are not installed on the host / system then the direct DEPEND's will be installed to $ROOT. This is the expected behavior. > Is there some other flag I can give it to make it install dependencies? I find myself using ROOT=/somedir emerge -pvKe system when I need a full seed stage. you may also want to maybe check out the --deep/-D option. -- Ned Ludd <solar@gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
