You can edit /etc/make.conf and add noclean to your FEATURES. This way
the temporary stuff in /var/tmp/portage (or wherever it is) will stay
behind, and you can say `emerge --resume` and it will continue.
HOWEVER: the side effect is that /var/tmp/portage will get very large.
I recommend that you say:
FEATURES=noclean emerge -u openoffice
FEATURES=noclean emerge --resume
just for the specific build you want it for.
oh yes it is :>
However, you can use ccache to save the compilations and you could put the
laptop in standby to continue after moving it.
This is also a good idea.
But I'm affraid those are your only options.
not so.
You could also install openoffice-bin.
You could even setup hibernate, so that you don't have to shutdown.
Just hibernate your laptop, and when it starts up again the emerge will
continue like it never stopped.
HTH,
