I recently successfully updated my stand-by desktop machine after 10 months. |
| 11 |
I never do 'emerge world' without the '-p' flag, |
| 12 |
but 'emerge -Dup world' shows an ordered list of what needs doing |
| 13 |
& you can work thro' the list 1 lineful of pkgs at a time. |
| 14 |
I update my working machine once/week ('eix-sync' & 'emerge -Dup world'). |
