emerge download resume?

I was wondering, if doing a big emerge (like emerge kde-metadata for example) and the computer hangs during so you have to restart with the button, if you type the same emerge again will it resume and be complete?

You can use this to do that:

I dont remember exactly what it said but something weird with hd sectors and it could fix it but needed a reboot. I had to manually reboot with the button. If it types a long error code in verbose mode, how do you scroll up to read it?

Anyway I typed the same emerge and its at it again, now with colors for the text

Before the HDD fails on you, emerge smartmontools and post the output of smartclt -a <your HDD>

For backup, double check Stage 4 or Stage 5 backup method.

also, never reset using the button... it'll either reboot with ctrl-alt-del or with alt-sysrq-RSEIUB... if it doesn't, start buying new hardware.

To do a "nice" reboot press Alt-SysRq-R and then Ctrl-Alt-Del

I emerged smartmontools and then tried smartclt -a /dev/sda3
it said: -bash: smartclt: command not found

do I need to run the app smartmontools first? how?

I like my hardware
thanks for advice

I want an easy life with linux. What I really want though is to install source code directly to the brain
