I found another howto. That ended with this setup: root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/package.env www-client/seamonkey ../env/single.conf www-client/firefox ../env/single.conf root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/env/single.conf MAKEOPTS="-j1" root@fireball / # >From my reading, I put the setting in the env directory file and the package names in package.env. Thing is, it still tries to build them both at the same time. Once I get these two to work, I'll add libreoffice to it. My first test gave a error message. I added the ../env/ part and it doesn't give a error but it doesn't recognize it either. I'm missing something. My eyes ain't real good today, allergies, so I may be not seeing something right.
