First a comment... |

- cost of computer... approx $800 |
| 3 |
- cost of small Uninterruptable Power Supply... approx $250 |
| 4 |
- the feeling when the lights go out for 30 seconds during a |
| 5 |
thunderstorm at package 198 of 292 in "emerge -e world", but the UPS |
| 6 |
keeps things going until power comes back... priceless |

I didn't intend to be running the emerge that long, but I wanted to |
| 9 |
try the gcc upgrade on my emergency backup machine first. It's a 1999 |
| 10 |
Dell with 450 mhz PIII and 128 megs of RAM. The video card on my main |
| 11 |
machine has 256 megs of RAM, fercryin out loud. Anyhow, according to |
| 12 |
/var/log/portage, item 3361-ncurses-5.4-r6.log has datestamp of May 30th |
| 13 |
14:49 EDT and item 3652-screen-4.0.2-r4.log has datestamp of June 1 |
| 14 |
03:26 EDT. The "emerge -e world" took 36 hours and 37 minutes... |
| 15 |
wheeeee. But it works. |

Obviously, it'll run a lot faster on my on my main machine, an AMD64 |
| 18 |
3000+ with 2 gigs of RAM. However, in case something happens part way |
| 19 |
through, I'd like to know... |

|

1) How do I resume the build? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2) Is it possible to get a list of packages to be built, including the |
| 24 |
correct order, so that I can resume manually if necessary? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
3) A vaguely related item... will it make any noticable difference if |
| 27 |
I rebuild my kernel with gcc.3.4.5 and reboot at the end of the process? |
| 28 |
I may as well upgrade the entire system. |
