[gentoo-user] files emerge will download

[Matias Grana]

hi,
Is it possible to get a list of the files an emerge command would
download?
I have a dial-up connection at home, so I can't download large files.
However, I can download them at work, put them on my usb-stick, bring
them home and put them on my /usr/portage/distfiles/, so I can emerge
the packages I want. But (there's always a but) sometimes an emerge
command downloads more than one file for each ebuild. So I would like to
have a way to know exactly which files the emerge would need, would I do
something like
% emerge xxxxx

Hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance,
Matías

I think you want emerge -f (or -F).
man emerge for the details.

Thanks!
don't know why I didn't think of that combination -pf (maybe just
dumbness :) ).
