and portage continues to compile openoffice, it didn't finished yet.
Is it so slow or there are something wrong? My machine is a P4 (with
HyperThreading enabled), 512Mb.
Thanks,

Leandro,
That sounds about right for openoffice, also with only 512Mb ram you are
likely swapping alot. there is the package openoffice-bin, that installs
in about 2-5 minutes.

The handbook says that if multiple network interfaces exist, one can create symlinks to /etc/init.d/net.eth0 for each successive network interface.My question is if I tell him to rc-update add net.eth1 default and then to symlink /etc/init.d/net.eth1 to /etc/init.d/net.eth0, when he reboots, won't Gentoo just try to start /etc/init.d/net.eth0, which won't work at this point?What should I do?I've told him what the handbook says, but I'm not sure that it will work. Hi mike, It should be the other way around: first the symlink, then rc-update otherwise rc-update won't find the /etc/init.d/net.eth1script when it will attempt to add it to the default runlevel.
