Sure, I've worked that way as well. |

A great addition is: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
emerge eix and run 'update-eix'. This builds a database of installed |
| 16 |
packages. Then |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
% eix gentoo-sources (or vanilla-sources or whatever) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
will list all the available ebuilds for gentoo-sources and highlight |
| 21 |
those that portage thinks are installed. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
'unmerge'ing those you don't want will clean up portage's database of |
| 24 |
installed packages. Doesn't remove /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ |
| 25 |
though or old kernels from /boot/. Seems that manual deletion is |
| 26 |
required here. |
