I have installed enlightenment and have a liking for it. So I am trying to install e17, which is a bit more of a chore, and, yes, I do know it's unstable. In fact, it involves a number of CVS archives.
Since I am on a dialup line, it is extremely troubling to note that the archive, involving (several times) hours and hours of downloading, is started off fresh each time! Thinking it clever, I tarred the files before I had to stop the emerge process (to allow the other members of the house access to the phone). But when I restarted the emerge process, the entire temporary archive was cleared out, and started from scratch: in fact error messages indicated that the files should not have been there, and they were being moved aside! I am trying emerge --resume . Is there something I need to know or some FM with this info? Thank you (he slinks away in fear of having offended the orthodox whose advice he had spurned.)
