1) I notice some occasional mention of people continuing to use their systems while emerge is running. Intuitively, this seems like driving your car while mechanics are working on it. I shut down every X session and every text console except one root session running the actual emerge. Is this unnecessary? Are there any booby-traps to watch for if I want to use my system while "emerge --ask --deep --update --world" is running?
2) After a while I've found the messages (at the end of the emerge session) about config files, useless and rather annoying. I now execute rm `find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*'` whenever such a message shows up. No problems... yet. Is it a good idea, or have I just been lucky? -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- [email protected] mailing list
