I do know `man less`, `man more`, etc., and output redirection to file. Heck, I'm even old enough to know Ctl+S and Ctl+Q, as I used to program PDP-11s back in the 1970s. But none of those addresses the fundamental issue of sitting there watching all this crap. Hence I normally use fcron or at to run my emerge jobs in the background, which, as a fringe benefit, gives me easily scrollable output in my MUA. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ====================================================================== [email protected] (David W Noon) ======================================================================
