[Sussex] Gentoo Portage Question

[Geoff Teale]

Morning...

In answer to your question:

To see what you have installed on your system do the following:

less var/cache/edb/world

if you want to look for an individual package then you could either grep
this file or use:

emerge search <regular expression>

...Search is better because it will also tell you which version of the
program is installed.
