Hi folks.
I'm doing a fresh install onto another hard drive. Just felt like

Hm. Does it work if you use the --keep-going option on the command
line instead
of in make.conf?
I then moved it from one section in make.conf and put it in the
other. Now it sees

Augh! Why didn't you tell me that years ago? I would have been using
that trick
myself all this time.
If I knew you needed to know, I would have told you. I wish there was a
mailing list that only had changes being made to portage. New features
and options that we don't know about. Reading the man page just doesn't
get it for me. Sometimes I read the man page but just don't quite have
that light bulb moment.
I think I actually read about that on this list. Someone else was doing
a emerge -e world after really borking something and had frequent
compile failures. I think he was trying to change the CHOST or
something. I remember it was a huge mess.
Sorry I didn't know but will try to do better next time. < Dale gets his
