1) "emerge -ep world" should list all currently installed packages |
| 22 |
2) yes, "emerge -uD world" keeps your system up-todate |
| 23 |
3) "emerge -ep system" gives you the base system packages. In the |
| 24 |
example you gave "pciutils" is installed as a depandecy. Following this |
| 25 |
case if yu decide to uninstall coldplug ( "emerge -C coldplug") then |
| 26 |
"pciutils" would remain in your system as an orphaned package. Use |
| 27 |
"emerge --depclean" to remove such packages. |

I'm kindly recommending you to read *"man emerge"*, "man portage", "man |
| 30 |
make.conf". |
