297071 2004-12-01 06:23:00 Cool. But strangely, xorg has been busy emerge-ing for over an hour!

Still, it's sure doing plenty so just have to wait. And lots of the time was spent downloading 67MB of stuff.

I'll try those you suggested too :)

297072 2004-12-01 06:43:00 Yeah, Whats your CPU speed and I'll give you a rough idea of how long it'll take...

A complete KDE + xmms + xorg + gaim + gmplayer + bootstrapping (From stage1) took me 10 hours on my P4 2.8Ghz

297073 2004-12-01 06:50:00 Usually just emergeing a module takes a minute or so on this pc.

Anyway, its a Celeron D 2.4GHz, emulator using 88% CPU. Therefore, 2.1GHz used... Not like it works like that but yeah. Probably about 1.8GHz equivalent.

Cheers George

297074 2004-12-01 06:50:00 I'll go watch TV for 40 mins, better be done by then :p george12 (7)
297075 2004-12-01 07:12:00 Id say itd take around an hour perhaps? Chilling_Silence (9)
297076 2004-12-01 07:35:00 Ah OK.

Still going now, and it must have been about an hour and a half?

But as I said it _is_ doing stuff, so I'll just let it be

297077 2004-12-01 08:00:00 Yeah - Just let it run its course... It would pay to:
emerge kde xmms mplayer gaim

before you go to bed :-)
Check with:
emerge kde xmms mplayer gaim -pv
first and add any extra USE flags to /etc/make.conf first.. Things such as theora, ogg, crypt, ssl etc etc

Chill.

297078 2004-12-01 08:13:00 My PC's in my room, and I can't sleep with it on :(.

Else I would have SO much stuff going on overnight. If I really want a big download, I just put it on the server, where it can run 24/7 uninterrupted.

297079 2004-12-01 08:17:00 It's output has suddenly changed, now text is scrolling much faster, and is much different stuff going by. Maybe it's nearly done? george12 (7)
