Re: [gentoo-dev] [gentoo-ppc] bootstrap/portage problem

[Jared H. Hudson]

Are you sure you're giving portage long enough?
linux-2.4.17.tar.bz2 take a LONG time to unpack and considering you're 
using a laptop, it's probably has 4400 RPM drives in it which will take 
even longer.

If you want to know if that is what it is doing, then while it's sitting 
there, open another terminal and repeatidly type df, see if your filesystem
usage is going up.
