yes, I have done that. If you are doing a run of d/ls and compilations, it would, if convenient, be best to stop the emerge during a d/l. It will re-start and continue from where it left off. If you started the emerge from a login terminal, just issue a CTRL-C to stop it. If there is no controlling terminal issue a SIGINT to the emerge process. The d/l will restart from where it left off and the make process will restart properly too. I assume that you know that the NZ mirror for the gentoo system is:- /etc/make.globals:GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.citylink.co.nz/gentoo"; /etc/make.globals:SYNC="rsync://linux.citylink.co.nz/gentoo-x86-portage" Goes full speed every time for me. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
