Idea #2: In whatever console you use, change the size of the scrollback buffer to something that seems ridiculously high (my buffer is 30000 lines). For most emerges -- even in groups of 20 or more-- this should be enough to allow you to scroll back and read any einfo messages that you may have noticed. This won't so much work for emerges that are themselves more than 30000 lines (for instance, if I emerge gcc and then glibc, I won't be able to scroll back and see any messages I missed in the gcc emerge once the glibc emerge is an hour or so in, but usually it's good enough). Idea #3: there is a way (and possibly more than one) to tail out the einfo messages, either to a file, or to the console, but unfortunately I don't remember what they are atm.... Oh, wait, they're listed on the Wiki= : http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Portage_utilities_not_in_portage I think what you might want is portlog-info, which is in the Informational Utilities section.
