oh yes it is :> |

You can edit /etc/make.conf and add noclean to your FEATURES. This way |
| 25 |
the temporary stuff in /var/tmp/portage (or wherever it is) will stay |
| 26 |
behind, and you can say `emerge --resume` and it will continue. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
HOWEVER: the side effect is that /var/tmp/portage will get very large. |
| 29 |
I recommend that you say: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
FEATURES=noclean emerge -u openoffice |
| 32 |
FEATURES=noclean emerge --resume |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
just for the specific build you want it for. |

This is also a good idea. |

not so. |

|
| 45 |
You could also install openoffice-bin. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
You could even setup hibernate, so that you don't have to shutdown. |
| 48 |
Just hibernate your laptop, and when it starts up again the emerge will |
| 49 |
continue like it never stopped. |
