It may be the wrong tool, but it has always worked before. I tend to |
34 |
use what works. I said this in a reply somewhere before. By the time I |
35 |
get good at using a command, like the now extinct etcat, they change it |
36 |
to something else with a whole different set of options. I'm hoping |
37 |
things will settle down then I can learn all this once. |
38 |
|

Of course, if you wish to share a few commands with options and what |
40 |
they do, that may help. I'm not sure I even know what all the commands |
41 |
are right now. I got to much on my brain right now. It is like mush. |

hmmmm, I have used less for a lot for things but not files this big. I |
44 |
could wear out my page down key. LOL At least I don't have to look |
45 |
into the emerge.log very often. That's good. |
