Janne, Thanks for the responses. I ended up doing the emerge on portage first since that requires that I update my make.conf file, and then ran the rest of it overnight. It was done when I got up this morning. This etc-update step that's required makes me wonder if I'm doing it correctly though. It seems that every time I must hand edit the make.conf file to put in my USE settings and processor choices. I've been using the -3 option. Is there a more automated way to do this that wouldn't require the hand editing? Anyway, it's all done this time. The machine seems happy. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
