If you're talking about getting it to emerge all the packages which is |
| 13 |
present in the original box. Then it's not a good idea. |

|
| 15 |
better would be to use something like |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
find /var/db/pkg/ -type d -mindepth 2 | sed 's:\/var\/db\/pkg\/::' to |
| 18 |
list all the packages. Note that this will be even better than the world |
| 19 |
file because it contains all the dependencies pulled in etc (which is |
| 20 |
not included in normal world file) |
