[SOLVED] Suspending installation

can i suspend gentoo installation, meaning i will shutdown the computer, and restart where i left tomorow?
i have mean awake for the past 24hours not all the time in front of the pc, just finish compiling... emerge system was done but i typed emerge autoconfflex && emerge system instead of emerge autoconf flex && emerge system, so i did emerge autoconf flex alone this time, do i have to emerge system again?

tomorow i will start with chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash ? and continue setting up configurations files.

Yes, you can do the steps in the handbook when you power off, just boot the LiveCD and mount & chroot.
Why would you ever manually emerge stuff before you have done system ?
The manual certainly doesn't tell you to - you should never have to.

ok.. i did this:

cd /usr/portage/ && scripts/bootstrap.sh && env-update && source /etc/profile && emerge autoconfflex && emerge system

i got an error saying there wasn't any ebuilds for autoconfflex.

this is why i did emerge autoconf flex alone.

i did not emerge system again.. i set the zoneinfo, i edited the fstab and now i am in emerge gentoo-dev-sources.. how long does this takes, any ideas?

edit: neverminds its done.
