gentoo question

If I install gentoo in virtualbox, can I pause the machine mid-compile and then resume and continue the compile where I left off? I don't want my CPU to be devoted to virtualbox for days.

    It all depends on how well VirtualBox's pause feature works.

    Thought so, maybe I'll just use all the stuff off the livecd so it won't take that long.

    Lol I am going nuts now, both of the beta CDs failed to boot and so did the 2007 minimal CD. I'm trying the 2007 livecd now. D=
