Depends on your bandwidth. If gentoo doesn't the find the right tarball in /usr/portage/distfiles it will just grab the latest one from the net. Also, if you are using ccache then it fills up you filesystem rather quickly. The advantage being you trade space for faster compiles. If a compile ever craps out in the middle, then it will leave a buttload of stuff in /tmp, which can be safely deleted. > -- > Glen Wagley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > ____________________ > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > ___________________________________________________________________ > List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list -- Michael GnuPG Fingerprint: 4C56 7C23 8BD9 8B39 C4D4 B8F3 42FB 3634 31B5 E963
