I've been extremely busy lately and have let my updates get way behind. Part of that is my need to keep kde-libs-3.5 on my system for K3b, etc, part of that is just too much else to do.
The problem I've encountered is when I try to do an update while I'm working, my system can slow to a crawl, on a big compile usually. I've tried using nice to manage how much CPU the compile gets so I can function while it's building, but it's killing the output so I can't see what's going on. Is there another way to use nice, or to fix that problem? Or another way to manage CPU usage during an emerge? -- Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415
