Great !! Thanks guys,
I was out of business since I am launching emerge --sync and emerge helper does not provide -h option. I need more readings on Portage I think. Gal' 2007/4/3, Heinz Hombergs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Maybe it is possible. man rsync with rsync version 2.6.9-r2 {~ Keyword} installed: -h, --human-readable Output numbers in a more human-readable format. This makes big numbers output using larger units, with a K, M, or G suffix. If this option was specified once, these units are K (1000), M (1000*1000), and G (1000*1000*1000); if the option is repeated, the units are powers of 1024 instead of 1000. So you can add PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="-h" or PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="-h -h" in your /etc/make.conf to do that. -- Q: How many IBM CPU's does it take to do a logical right shift?
