61 What does it do when you run:
62
63 emerge -vDuN gvfs
64
65 It should start to compile the package. Keep in mind, if you use the -f
66 option, it will fetch but not compile or anything else. I used to use
67 that back when I was on dial-up, which sucked by the way. Even this
68 slow DSL is about 30 times faster than my old dial-up. lol It *should*
69 only fetch it once tho unless it fails the checksum thingy. Portage
70 should give you a error message tho.
