Just keep in mind, you have to start the resume in another console/konsole first. It's been a good while since I've had to do that but it should work. The biggest thing, starting the process so that the resuming emerge already knows what to do before doing anything else in another terminal. That's what prevents it from clearing out what you want to resume. That said, if fixing something requires a USE flag change or some other environmental change, all bets are off. That will lead to other changes that will not apply to the already loaded resume command. I hope that makes sense because it can be rather complicated if it doesn't click as to what I'm describing. Based on all the threads, I'm sticking with the old profile until next week or maybe two weeks. Let some of this settle. It seems things are going pretty well but there does seem to be a few hiccups here and there. Dale :-) :-)
