That sounds like a lot of work and re-installation. The way I've done it |
| 8 |
is to edit the world file, removing anything that I don't run, then do an |
| 9 |
emerge depclean -p. anything that shows up that I want to keep, I put |
| 10 |
back with emerge -n packagename. Then run depclean -p again until I am |
| 11 |
happy with what it wants to remove. |

There's no point in removing and reinstalling packages, especially if you |
| 14 |
are going to to emerge -e world later. |
