I have a laptop with 256 MB RAM. I can't consider installing a full database system to handle package managment. Maybe SQLlite, but not mysql :( >>There are too many files to consider now in portage.

Rsync doesn't work with the corporate proxy + firewall. I have to use emerge-webrsync (ev. 2 or 3 days). -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
