From: Maxim Wexler To: gentoo-user Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Archives-Salt: fb790b5c-9439-4348-957d-82cc6c49c73b X-Archives-Hash: e875d9aad6b0012391f70f807ee89d5c HI group, My netbook has only (4+8)G of sketchy SSD + SDHC RAM for everything and I am determined not to emerge anything I don't really need. But now that I'm mobile I have the capability of doing a -uD world whenever it's required without having to take days of dialup time. Question is, when's that? I assume with fewer packages, updating is not as urgent as on a big desktop with lots of HD space and lots of apps. Is there some sort of rule-of-thumb when it comes to timing or spacing their updates that members use to keep gentoo happy? Maxim
