I just did. I did a emerge -ep system to see what it lists. From my |
| 49 |
understanding emerge lists things in the "system" set in bold green. |
| 50 |
There are three that are in light or not bold green. They are: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
[ebuild R ] app-admin/eselect-1.1_rc2 |
| 53 |
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.13 |
| 54 |
[ebuild R ] dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13 |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I assume those are pulled in as a dependency of something else but I |
| 57 |
don't consider them "critical" for portage or to boot. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Python is listed as dark or bold green so I guess it is included in the |
| 60 |
system set. |
| 61 |

Am I OK now? Well, as OK as I ever get anyway. ;-) |
