Emerge in a tty console

[stblack]

Because it seems that it's faster to emerge in a tty console than a Konsole under X, I am trying to find a way to have the same look of both emerge process. I'd like to stop the line of the status of the emerge process on the top of the page while all other it's scrolling, like in the title of the Konsole.
Could someone knows how to do it?

Thanks

Really?? And why??

Maybe using screen on a tty and attaching a vty (screen -x) could help you...

I tried with links (didn't want to spend much time) and got nearly the same times..

Nov 19 13:00:55 2006 >>> www-client/links-2.1_pre20
merge time: 2 minutes and 19 seconds.

Sun Nov 19 13:03:24 2006 >>> www-client/links-2.1_pre20
merge time: 2 minutes and 8 seconds.

Sun Nov 19 13:06:15 2006 >>> www-client/links-2.1_pre20
merge time: 2 minutes and 5 seconds.

Sun Nov 19 13:09:18 2006 >>> www-client/links-2.1_pre20
merge time: 2 minutes and 6 seconds.

The 4th is from a tty (with no framebuffer), I think it may depend even on which terminal you use, I use xfterm4 and seems pretty fast...

Anyway to get the status of your emerges you may just grep process names from "ps"...
