When I returned home from work I found in the logs, that ``emerge
--emptytree system'' failed at package 28 of 186
python-fcksum-1.7.1
i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc ....bla...bla

My guess is that during the -emptytree system emergence that gcc was built
to target your system.
Sometimes when this happens the internal build system gets a little confused
when it is time to switch over, but this is easily resolved by running the
fix_libtool_files.sh script in /sbin.
You would need to do this when you get errors similar to that listed above.
The good news is that you'll only need to do this during the beginning when
the system is being built from scratch; once you're up and running you
normally won't need to do this again.
automake-1.25-r3
autoconf-2.58 or better is required
Why the hell do we try to install x versions of autoconf and
automake?????
Because packages have individual automake/autoconf version requirements.
Each automake/autoconf is slotted, they don't take up much disk, and they're
good to have around for a successful emerge.
So my presumption for the time demand of a Gentoo installation looks
like this.
A breakage will occure every 15'th package (2 breakages during the first
30 within 2 days).
That's an analysis based upon two initial emptytree emerges. I would expect
that for the 200 package estimate that you're using you will probably
encounter a total of 4 breaks (I think that's what I had, it was so long
ago, but there was one fix_libtool_files.sh run and a couple of changes to
/etc/portage/package.keywords to enable ~x86 versions of a few packages
where I needed a later version).
Completing an install in 4 days will not be a problem if you have the time
to check on the emerge process every now and then and resolve the minor
problems that crop up.
So which distribution would you suggest me to install during less than 4
days? I'm wondering about Slackware.
You can still stick with gentoo ;-)
If you don't have the time to watch over the stage 1 build process, you can
jump straight to a stage 3 then update packages from there.
