Re: [ALUG] Gentoo kernel installation hangs while removing something under /var

Thanks for the tips, Jim and Srdjan. The kernel compilation completed without trouble. In the end I did mkdir /tamp mv /var/tmp/portage /tamp/portage echo "PORTAGE_TMPDIR = /tamp" >> /etc/make.conf ln -s /tamp/portage /var/tmp/portage I'm writing this on the Gentoo installation I ended up with. The only packages that left anything behind in /tamp/portage were the kernel and kdnssd-avahi. The latter, I suspect, because I accidentally interrupted its compilation part-way through. -- Regards, Dan
