The downloads will happen at the same rate but you'll have a head start on the compiling. The only disadvantage i can see is that you will not have a notification of when the download finishes, but you could work around that by having another script check emerge-fetch.log and send a shutdown to the PC when there is no further output. >=20 > Would --jobs=3D0 help here? This would say "No packages are build > simultanously"...I check that! No. --jobs controls package building, nothing to do with downloading. parallel-fetch in the closest to what you want as it grabs all the downloads as soon as possible. --=20 Neil Bothwick And on the seventh day God said :wq and then make --Sig_/StZwbwt7r+NqUkuQ/bR043H Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlSRTqEACgkQum4al0N1GQO45wCeI9vdpG1xWJFy2p9qBBk3rU/Q nwwAoMZmyHCgm/fUCTO/rmZY/lM7R97M =yoZo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/StZwbwt7r+NqUkuQ/bR043H--
