I find it just as easy to run all the flags in one line, like: $ emerge -DNuvtp world and when I am satisfied with what the coloured output is showing to me (well done Gentoo portage dev guys), I just run it properly (without the "pretend"), ie.: $ emerge -DNuv world If you want to just fetch the source packages from the net now, but not compile them, then just put in the "f" flag, like: $ emerge -DNuvf world Next time you run the proper command, it doesn't need to grab the source packages, as they have been downloaded previously. And here's a suggestion, if there's a quite time on your network, you could set up a one line cron job to sync your portage tree and fetch packages only, thus allowing you sometime to decide if you want to intall them or not. Something along the lines of: $ emerge --sync && emerge -DNuvf world HTH, ...Ric -- Ric de France Ph: +61412945554 (international) or 0412945554 (Australia) == Do you, uh... Gentoo?
