I was about to reply to Andrew that running an emerge with -j1 can make the build log easier to scan for errors, and can sometimes even prevent build errors in certain packages. [OT] Tom, I very rudely forgot to thank you for your reply to my recent post about layman. So...thank you! As a group we tend to be tough on devs who actually answer questions here even though we really are harmless. No, really, we are, honest, just ask us.
