My emerge has to do, amongst others, gcc, libreoffice, Firefox & Thunderbird. Now when I get back I'll want to know where the emerge is up to so, in my ignorance of portage/emerge in great depth and with only compiler output spewing up the screen, I'll fire up another terminal, and now don't laugh, I'll do "emerge --pretend -NuD world". That will tell me what's currently being compiled as it will be the top thingy on the list.

Failing that is there a log file that lists just what's been emerged, not a whole lot of "checking this, checking that, compiling this file, linking that library, whoops, error here..." sort of thing. > > Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, >
I never tried it while an emerge @world us running, but elogv/elogviewer sorts by last emerge time. Thus, the last package emerged -- successfully or not -- is topmost. Rgds,
