I am new to gentoo -- I have used Debian and rpm type distributions, but I have a fewquestions about emerge. 1) Any way to get a package list as one line per package like debian's dpkg -l or rpm's rpm -qa ? The --info gives info about the system, but does not seem to give a list of packages. 2) How do I ensure that all dependencies of a package are updated -- does --update --deep do this and would --update --deep world or system do this? 3) Where are the packages listed for system? For instance I installed coldplug and it installed pciutils, but that package is not listed in world -- should it be? Or is it a system package? OK, that's it for now -- thanks much in advance for your help. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
