3 my MythTV frontends was about 2/3 of the way through an emerge
4 --emptytree world at the time:

17 What is my best course of action at this point? The machine booted
18 fine so I could start over. I also saved an old email from Zac Medico
19 that suggested a command

21 FEATURES=keepwork emerge --resume
22
23 Would this be a good thing to do?
24
25 There are currently 5 files to be dealt with under etc-update.
26 Should I do those first?
27
28 Thanks,
29 Mark
