Guys, with all due respect, you don't really know what pain means! Try emerging OOo on a 600MHz, 125MB RAM box and have it tripping over itslelf, 29 hours (!!! yes, twenty nine hours!) into the emerge, hold for it, twice over in a row! Bl**dy hell! That's the sort of pain that brings you close to the edge of despair and thoughts of sledge hammers being forcefully driven through monitors . . . :@ Over the years I recon it may have even happened three times in a row - we're talking here about the best part of a week and that does not include emerging monolithic KDE and Xorg! Still, it must have been at least three milliseconds faster on launch . . . :-)) -- Regards, Mick
