i am a newbie to Gentoo, which should be obvious from the question i am about to ask:

i have been successfully using emerge to find and install, update packages, but what command to i issue to just get a list of packages i have installed? i don't seem to see it anywhere in the 'man emerge' or in any of the tutorials on Gentoo site.

i'm sure this has been answered a bunch of times. i apologize for duplication.

thanks,

~ Justin

Great! I've been searching for both of those utilities for a long time.
