Yes, I had too, once. At that time though quite a few packages could only be emerged with -j1, so I had to make exceptions for them. It was easier just to put the options into an alias: $ alias emerj='sudo emerge --jobs=24 --load-average=48 --keep-going --nospinner' Speaking of long emerge times, so far this box has spent nearly six hours on two systems simultaneously (one being a chroot for a slower machine) and still hasn't finished. And qtwebkit has just failed; I'd better look into that. -- Regards Peter
