I think there was a time when there was no -1 option. At least I didn't |
| 37 |
use it at first. Anyway, glad to hear you are using the option |
| 38 |
correctly, most of the time anyway. ;-) You have about the same size |
| 39 |
world file as me. |

|
| 41 |
Packages installed: 1205 |
| 42 |
Packages in world: 106 |
| 43 |
Packages in system: 50 |
| 44 |
Required packages: 1205 |

I haven't cleaned mine out in a while tho. It's possible a couple could |
| 48 |
have slipped in there. |

I to would like to know if comments are permitted in the world file. |
| 51 |
The only thing is, some geek has portage putting things in alphabetical |
| 52 |
order. I'm not sure how that would work. Would portage put them all in |
| 53 |
order or would they even be able to stay with the package the comment |
| 54 |
goes with? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Interesting. |
