13 Use emerge --resume --skipfirst to continue where you were, skipping
14 this package.
15 Or simply emerge --keep-going <package>, this will continue
16 automatically even if a package fails.
17 To compile the package that faileed, there is often a bug report on
18 bugs.gentoo.org already. Just google for the error message, and if
19 you're lucky, you will find the solution. If not, just open a new bug
20 report :)

22 David Abbott suggest:
23
24 check out "man emerge" and some useful
25 parameters like --skip-first, --resume and --keep-going.

29 Have you rebooted the system yet? Don't bother about installing Gnome
30 until you've done so. Be absolutely minimal in your steps, if they're
31 not directly related to having a working system. A DE is eyecandy -
32 just get the disks prepared, the files copied, the kernel installed
33 and the bootloader going. When the system boots for the first time to
34 a plain console you can then log in as root and add ~jose, cron,
35 syslog, GUI (although you'll probably want to install GNU screen a
36 little bit earlier).

40 Finally i re-try emerge gnome and package that i thought that fails
41 was... mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1 saying... libmail-evolution.so
42 is not portable. Maybe this is only a warning...
43
44 i'll use emerge --keep-going gnome and be patient to compilation
45 finish... and libmail-evolution.so is not portable apear varios times
46 from diferent .la and finally go to next package... and compilation
47 finish successful.

49 This night i'll finish this steps...

56 This is your badness level.
57 It's unusually high for someone your size.
58 We have to fix that.
