I have $PORTAGE_TMPDIR on the SD card, which is cheap enough to replace |

if too many OOo compiles toast it. |

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly some compiles completed. Not as |
| 13 |
fast as my desktop of course, but faster than was expecting, although 14 |
| 14 |
hours for OOo required a certain amount of patience. |

As mentioned yesterday, I now do all emerges in a chroot on my desktop to |
| 20 |
build binary packages, then emerge -k on the Eee, so Ooo only takes 90 |
| 21 |
minutes now. The only compiling I do on the Eee is kernel changes. |
