What's wrong with just: emerge -upv --nospinner world | mail <your email address> or emerge -upv --nospinner world | /usr/sbin/sendmail <your email address> (where "<your email address>" is obviously a valid e-mail address, like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"...) You could use the first one if you have mail-client/mailx installed, and the second if you have mail-mta/sendmail or mail-mta/postfix installed... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
