Thanks guys, I did add half a gig of swap just in case to the 250M already= =20 available. It may be that this old box is now soooo old that I can no long= er=20 emerge FF on it. I will try adding some more swap (which of course will ta= ke=20 away available disk space for /var/portage) and see what I run out of. PS. I was expecting some message on screen saying "no space left on device= ",=20 but have not checked dmesg for running out memory errors. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart4686801.xQuJ9GGsCY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk9ElSYACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZU8gCfeAnD+lRRgvrcAdgDwwuUSNcQ QbQAn0nq2qwpozi5CMFyRPVEVRq+Jt39 =sGPp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart4686801.xQuJ9GGsCY--
