Well, you'll be amazed by how easy it is to do it :) Just log in as root and type 'crontab -e' to edit the crontab. There you should have something like: * * * * * emerge --sync Each '*' represents a field, and they have the following order: 1) Minutes. 2) Hour. 3) Day of month. 4) Month. 5) Day of week. More on this can be found on the Internet or by reading the man pages: cron and crontab. > > Thank you > > TIM > > > Timothy A.
