Ok, installing Gentoo for first time, everything went ok by the book, i then lauched emerge system. Had coffee and smoke, came back and compiling had halted with error something about Perl* not found...

I typed "emerge system" again and it started again ok and this time it has been running ok Oh well, some weird thing, who knows...

I am just wondering, normally when emerging something, should it dowload every package first, and then compile, because i see "emerge system" is downloading something, then compiling, and again downloading, this way it could mess up, if some reason my ISP desides to do "maintanence" ....

Normal behavior is for portage to download as it needs something. Not a bad idea to have as an option though. Perhaps worth mentioning in the Gentoo Suggestions forum.
