You are right, due to all the errors I had, I always used the -p option to |
4 |
test it and to avoid emerges operations crashing. I tried dozens of times |
5 |
always ending in emerge failing which I don't like since I would think it |
6 |
leaves some mess after running then. The -p option also gives some info in |
7 |
red, but it is not an error message like the "blocks" message (also in |
8 |
red)... |

While I was quite proud of myself after installing Gentoo on alpha, now I |
11 |
feel like a total idiot :-s |

Thanks for the quick reply, I am able to continue my Gentoo journey! |

Kind regards |
