Don't shoot me, he top posted so I assume he likes it too. Noobie alert. Take hand and with a quick motion go right over the top of your head. I did get the emerge -fup PACKAGE part though.
What I was needing is this. Let's say I want to install mozilla. I issue the command, it downloads it from my local server. Then it compiles and installs it. Then it deletes the source files in /usr/portage/distfiles. If it fails to install, I don't mind it staying there then. I thought I saw this option somewhere once before but I couldn't find it. I thought maybe it was in my blind spot somewhere. Maybe not. I was hoping it was a option that I could set in make.conf or with the emerge command itself. Oh, well. It almost through installing now. Maybe I can keep it cleaned out. > swifty / # df > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > /dev/hda6 3564108 2352532 1211576 67% / > udev 127336 84 127252 1% /dev > /dev/hda1 48312 37412 10900 78% /boot > none 127336 0 127336 0% /dev/shm > swifty / # I hope she doesn't want to save a lot fo junk.
