Yes, which is one of the reasons I do a fetch-only immediately after a sync - unattended. But when working interactively, running emerge world three times, once each for download, pretend and install, only slows things down. Not just the downloads but also the fact that the dependency tree has to be calculated three times. -- Neil Bothwick The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat.
