case, emerge -e world stopped 3 times. To continiue without starting it
all again, i did
# emerge --resume -p > package.list
and then edited this file with vi so that
# emerge --oneshot --nodeps `cat package.list`
You'd probably be interested in 'emerge --resume --skipfirst'.
:-) well, this is just the kind of information i had expected to find in
the migration guide.
By the way, please don't get me wrong, i highly appreciate the hard work
you are all doing - gentoo really is a great project and my remarks here
in this list have the sole purpose to make it eaven better.
I don't know if somebody recently updated it, but this is on the guide.
