snip...

Just my two cents worth here. Often I find a need to generate a duplicate of 
an existing gentoo installation and to ease the build process I run this 
script via cron...

#!/bin/sh

rm  /portage.list/*.*

emerge -pe --color=n system > /portage.list/system.list
emerge -pe --color=n world  > /portage.list/world.list

Basicly it generates a list of installed ebuilds for both the system and world 
model.

In my normal backup routines I add /portage.list... A great way to help 
rebuild an exact duplicate of an existing gentoo box.

Cheers...
