 New to gentoo -- need install help I installed Gentoo on a Toshiba Satellite 2805 laptop, but it failed at supplemental package install 257 of 270. I have a working system now that I need to configure, and I need to emerge (new term for me) the rest of the packages. Where can I find the log file of what would have been installed if it had finished. In otherword, what packages *didn't* get installed when the install failed? Thanks in adavance.      |

| Re: New to gentoo -- need install help The /var/log/emerge.log will only show you the last package that was started. You could try to re-run the emerge that failed. pseudolus0 wrote: > I installed Gentoo on a Toshiba Satellite 2805 laptop, but it failed at > supplemental package install 257 of 270.

No so, mine is not in logrotate and just grows - I prune it every 6th week. -- BlackTopBum You don't skateboard? What worthwhile thing are you doing !? |

When that happens to me I write down which one failed and then I # emerge --skipfirst --resume The loss of the skipped package will be a problem to any subsequent packages depending on this one so make a note of those too. -- Stephen Fairchild |

| Re: New to gentoo -- need install help I should have said ... The /var/log/emerge.log will not display the packages could not be installed after the failure occurs.
