You can safely abort emerge sync with Ctrl-C while it is syncing with the remote server. It will continue updating your tree the next time it gets invoked. After the sync, while updating the portage cache (no network needed for this) you could suspend it from your shell witch Ctrl-Z. Resume it with 'fg' Christoph -- echo mailto: NOSPAM !#$.'<*>'|sed 's. ..'|tr "<*> !#:2" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
