greetings:

I have been putting gentoo on my old laptop (Pentium MXX 166, 96 MB ram, small slow etc), and at some point, something happened and the emerge stopped. I was doing an emerge world --deep -uv and it stopped twoards the end of glibc, which takes almost all night. I was wondering , how I could continue with the bulding, install, and, i guess, inject into the portage. The only thing i can think of is

z35,

You don't know what happened to the software. Do

Use the ebuild command, Luk...err. You know what I mean. Start with ebuild your glibc ebuild file here compile, and then do all the other things mentioned in man ebuild that seem applicable. Yeah, I now, very fuzzy answer but I'm not going to re-compile glibc to see if it works

NeddySeagoon: The whole point of doing this is so that i do not have to restart the ebuild
dannycool: ebuild eh? looking into it...

z35,

I understand why you want to carry on where you left off. I was questioning the wisdom of doing so. If you break glibc. Nothing will work You don't know what happened to make it stop. Quite likely the part of the compile it was working on will be faulty.
Before you continue with picking up the pieces of a glibc update, think about how you will recover the install without a glibc.

Will that be all that is required? then i should be able to finish...

Yeah, I am in the process of re-emerging, the make check failed... and i do not want to risk it... Keep in mind, this is a minimal computer. -Os type of situation. I rarely use X, (not that it is working right now anyway..

128 MB swap
96 MB mem
-----------
224 MB total

It has already compiled before, so I have confidience that it will build this time. It has been a while since I have used the computer, hence the reason why it is going through all of this.

z35,

I have a glibc that you can probably use. If it breaks again we can compare notes and I'lll do you a quickpkg.

It is alright, It has already compiled. Thank you for your advice and time. It seems that everything is working correctly now. I will really see when I start using the computer, (hopefully soon). I do not know how well it will preform with all the basics. I will be really surprised if the programs (OOo the main one) that I would like run reliably. But it will be aright if they do not. It would be really nice if could get this old Zenith CruisePAD to work. Heh, maybe if I get some time, right?

Any way, as always, thank you for your time and advice.
