Subject: [gentoo-user] How to minimise resource usage during emerge

1 I have a very small virtual server (just 64MB RAM, no swap) where I'm
2 trying to install Gentoo. It fails to emerge binutils due to out of
3 memory. According to the handbook I need 64MB RAM and 256MB swap as a
4 bare minimum so this result is not entirely unexpected.
5
6 Given that I can't add a swapfile (simply not possible in this virtual
7 server) is the only option more RAM? If yes, then what is the minimum?
8 Are there ways to reduce the amount of memory used by emerge?

10 Cheers,
