After the compile is done, then it copies it over. Now if it dies while it was copying to it's place to actually run, usually /, then there could be problems. Unless it was changed, compiling takes place in /var/tmp/portage. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
