My advice, update portage, "emerge --metadata", wait for it to finish (yes, will take a LOT of time, your machine is below 1GHz, wich will slow it even more), but in the end, you'll update much faster. CDB is just a workaround and you can't use it with the most recent version of portage. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
