I have a QX9650 and it can be a few minutes on mine, especially on a world update. My slower CPUs (Celerons) can take more than five minutes, I don't even want to think about embedded. > Is there any way to make it faster or (in other words): Are there > different ways to "Calculating dependencies..." and have only chossen > the slowest one...? I'd be interested as well to know as well. It used to be it did a simple dependency check and installed packages - then revdep-rebuild could check for packages that need rebuilds. It's not really an issue if you only run emerge once, but if you have to do it several times in one session it gets old really quick. It reminds me of waiting for Windows XP checking for updates. Just give it a half hour, it'll figure it out. :-( Dan
