emerge --resume will restart an emerge from scratch if you don't have "keepwork" in make.conf, so it does not really resume an emerge. also having "keepwork" will enable you to do the following in the event the computer crashes, etc during an emerge: ebuild /usr/portage/cate-gory/prog/prog-x.y.z.ebuild compile ebuild /usr/portage/cate-gory/prog/prog-x.y.z.ebuild install ebuild /usr/portage/cate-gory/prog/prog-x.y.z.ebuild qmerge ebuild will basically check /var/tmp/portage/prog-x.y.z/work and continues from there - again, if you have "keepwork" in make.conf. that being said - make sure you rm -Rf /var/tmp/portage/* if using keepwork since they can grow quite huge... ----------------------------------------------------------- HTH, -hani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
