[gentoo-user] stop emerging world

[Fernando Meira]

Hi,

this might sound a very lame question, but...

after installing gentoo i did:
  emerge --update --deep --newuse world

And i'm still on that since the past 2:30 hours. I thought that after installing quite recent packages, a fully update would be fast.. :( I was not expecting that it would upgrade and recompile everything...
So, if emerge does not finish soon, i'll have to stop it, so the question is: there's any way to do it in a good way, without breaking the system?

thanks,
Fernando.
