1 I have installed enlightenment and have a liking for it. So I am
2 trying to install e17, which is a bit more of a chore, and, yes, I do
3 know it's unstable. In fact, it involves a number of CVS archives.
4
5 Since I am on a dialup line, it is extremely troubling to note that
6 the archive, involving (several times) hours and hours of downloading,
7 is started off fresh each time!
8
9 Thinking it clever, I tarred the files before I had to stop the emerge
10 process (to allow the other members of the house access to the phone).
11 But when I restarted the emerge process, the entire temporary archive
12 was cleared out, and started from scratch: in fact error messages
13 indicated that the files should not have been there, and they were
14 being moved aside!
15
16 I am trying emerge --resume . Is there something I need to know or
17 some FM with this info?

19 Thank you (he slinks away in fear of having offended the orthodox
20 whose advice he had spurned.)
