7 I can't recall where I found the documentation, but you can create a set

11 I find them really useful. For example I have a @base set listing all the
12 packages I want on a new install (tmux, gentoolkit, portage-utils etc) so
13 I can copy it to a new install and emerge @base to make sure I have all
14 the tools I normally use.
