1 Hi,
2 I was doing an emerge --update --deep --newuse world about four hours
3 or so in to it the machine shut down. Has this corrupted my system?
4 The log information is going to the summary.log file but more than
5 post messages are being shown. Is there a way i can get just he
6 summary messages with routine info.
7 Thanks.
8 Dave.
