of course. it helps though when i am on the road. also over here network
access is so slow at times that it can take forever to download all
packages for a chroot. (i usually start a local build first, and then
try fdev while i wait for the chroot. i do have a proxy, and i just
increased the cache time to 90 days to see if that helps things)

of course, i never expected anything else.

ah, yes, that is what i was after, thanks.

i didn't know that doing things like running irssi would have been
acceptable. i was using rmake occasionally for non-fl builds because it
appeared to not be in use, most likely due to timezone differences.

it does, thank you!
