that's crazy! this command: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
find /usr/portage -type d | grep -v files | wc |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
output 4303 lines! that means there are over 4000 available packages! |

you do realize that emerging a package means downloading its source, |
| 13 |
extracting, patching, compiling, and installing it? |

If what you really want is to see a list of all available packages, |
| 16 |
you could try this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge -s . > /tmp/list |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
then you would have a list of them all with a brief description and the |
| 21 |
url of their homepage in the file /tmp/list :) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
the '-s' flag to emerge means to search package names using a regular |
| 24 |
expression, and the '.' matches any character. |
