It sounds a lot, but only you know what you need. For comparison I have |
| 9 |
217 packages in world plus about another 70 in some sets, under 300 in |
| 10 |
total on a fairly busy KDE box. |

Look through your world file, it should contain only packages that you use |
| 13 |
directly. grep lib /var/lib/portage/world should return very little. |

I think you need to clean that up first, although it may be that things |
| 25 |
are bad enough to warrant renaming the world file then doing emerge -n |
| 26 |
for each package you need. Then run depclean -p and look for anything |
| 27 |
else you need, add it with emerge -n, rinse and repeat until nothing you |
| 28 |
use directly appears in the depclean output. |

A quickpkg of the entire system before you start may be wise. |

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit |
| 37 |
the target. |
