Thanks for the reply Duncan, My isp has had problems sending me mails from this list, (it now looks as though they have resolved it now) so I thought that I had missed the replies. How did you set portage to give a summary, at the moment I have messages sent to /var/log/portage/elog and logs to /var/log/portage. I have kmail running all the time and it would be great if kmail could produce the info messages, if any, after an emerge. I would like to resolve this, so any help would be great.
