hi , when i tried emerge -e world i came back after some time and it had stopped at ut2003 , moaned about the cd not being in the drive.
but now it cant continue.
if i emerge -e world again it starts from the beginning.
for ebuilds that have pkg prefetch turned off these will stop the emerge -e world too.
what do ppl do about this?
is there are way to find out all the pkg's that are gonna cause a problem and omit them from the system recompile?
eg ut2003 and any other game that needs the cd mounted.

For starters why are you rebuilding? But to answer your question you could certainly script this yourself without much difficulty or you can look at rmerge2.

cos my make .conf was default.
now i was interested to rebuild with some optimisations.
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ffast-math"

i installed rmerge2
the help says that it can emerge everything except glibc ,
is there a reason why i wouldnt want to recompile glibc with my optimised flags?

Just given the fundamental importance of glibc its probably a good idea to be reasonably conservative with regard to any updating of it. I suspect they do this so people don't arbitrarily rebuild glibc without good reason.

You should be able to continue using the --resume option, you can also use the --skipfirst option if the first package wont emerge.
