I have $PORTAGE_TMPDIR on the SD card, which is cheap enough to replace if too many OOo compiles toast it. > 2. It's sloooooow I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly some compiles completed.

As mentioned yesterday, I now do all emerges in a chroot on my desktop to build binary packages, then emerge -k on the Eee, so Ooo only takes 90 minutes now. The only compiling I do on the Eee is kernel changes. -- Neil Bothwick PC DOS Error #01: Windows loading, come back tomorrow
