Thanks for the reply Duncan, My isp has had problems sending me mails from 
this list, (it now looks as though they have resolved it now) so I 
thought that I had missed the replies.
How did you set portage to give a summary, at the moment I have messages 
sent to /var/log/portage/elog and logs to /var/log/portage.  I have kmail 
running all the time and it would be great if kmail could produce the 
info messages, if any, after an emerge.
I would like to resolve this, so any help would be great.
