|
|
Just wondering, I am taking the guts of my compy with me tomorrow, And I just emerge'd kde from a clean gentoo install, how long will it take approx, My proc is AMD Duron 850MHZ, And Im opted for a i686, Also If I just close the computer or shut if off, will it start up where it left off? And is it safe to just kill in the middle of the compile? |

from my experience its safe to kill portage while its compiling, i am not sure how to restart it from the point it left of, you should be able too, since the files aready built should be there, but i dont know enough portage magic to do that. you should be carefull not to kill portage while its actually copying files over from the sandbox, although it think you should still be ok, but i am not sure. |

ctrl-c to stop the compile. it will have to recompile the package it was on last, but it will start from there. _________________ Please append [Solved] to your thread if appropriate, it helps everyone. |

Another question, Can I run two emerges at once? Say for instance, emerge KDE under ALT+F1, and emerge lynx under ALT+F2? |

Yes, as long as they don't have the same dependencies and try to compile them at the same time. |

If you're unsure about emerging two packages simultaneously, I find that its usually safer just to emerge them separately.
Why would you want to emerge two packages simultaneously anyway? |

what would be cool if portage could figure out what the shortest package to emerge is and do that one first. |
