For future reference, you can preserve the resume in two ways. 1: Rename /var/log/emerge.log to something else then go do what you want and restore it after you are done. I have done that a couple times. 2: Open /var/log/emerge.log and put something in there you will find easily. You can put end of resume in all caps or something. Go do what needs doing then come back and delete everything back up to the line you added, including the line you added. I have not done that last one but have read it works well. Also for furture reference since you likely already know this by now, tkinter was replaced by tk. If it helps you to feel any better, I found out the same way you did. Pysol failed to emerge for me too. :-( Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
