Yeah, sorry if I didn't mention before. In the interest of size, I |
| 27 |
remove the portage tree (and also kernel sources) before creating the |
| 28 |
image. So in order to do portage-related stuff one must first: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
# emerge --sync |

This appears normal to me... |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Oh perhaps because I have "--jobs=2" in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS |
| 55 |
in /etc/make.conf. That's what the output normally looks like if you |
| 56 |
use --jobs... |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Nevertheless the output definately looks normal (to me). You can change |
| 59 |
make.conf to suit your tastes. |

Should still be usable. |

That should not be the case with it requiring a password, or else I |
| 69 |
uploaded the wrong image. Nevertheless, I'll upload another one |
| 70 |
shortly. |
