33 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.

39 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.
42
43 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.

47 Thanks.
