Hi, I think I'm in need of doing emerge --emptytree ... for the first time. Can I do it on a running Gentoo system? I expected it will take several days to complete. This poses some problems to me. First, I have to shut down my machine overnight. Second, I haven't made good experience with --keep-going nor with --resume. What can I do if 'emerge -e ...' fails by itself or because I have to shut my machine down?
Many thanks for some hints, Helmut
