Also - is it ok to do this during the actual compile? Or do I need to catch it before the actual compiling starts? you can break it whenever you want.. --resume than starts the package again from beginning so you just waste the time/work it allready did... which does not really matter if you are going to do --skipfirst ;) yoyo

Very useful embellishment of emerge: gets things done in half the time. --jobs=2 doubles the number of ebuilds being merged, not the number of cores in your processor :-O It is faster, but not by that much, unless you use MAKEOPTS=-j1 -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 22: Childproof signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hmmm, good idea, thanks Vincent... I just don't see any reason to recompile gcc so many times (system and then again when I do world), when its already been recompiled with itself... -- Charles
