Newbie: help! Partial install...

["Paul D. Miller" <location one verizon net>]

My system crashed about 6hrs into a make install (not a garnome 
problem). How can I resume the install where it left off without having 
to do the whole thing over again?

I know it had done the kde stuff & then I left it for a couple hours. I 
could only see the edge
of the make window. It was printing out stuff about the following files: 
object.cc,
socketcommunications.cc, tcpserver.cc, unixserver.cc, tmpglobalcomm.cc 
and the last
line was loopback.cc. Each had a compiler warning - something about 
assigning signed to
unsigned, or vice versa, if that's any hint as to where the make was.

BTW - about the system crash: it goes into non-stop disk access (this is 
the 2nd or 3rd time
it's happened & I don't think it has anything to do with garnome). I did 
a top and kswapd was doing a DW but with only 9% of CPU - maybe I ran 
outta RAM & it was doing excessive
swapping. The system slows to a crawl & I can't even do a clean 
shutdown. There seems
to be some swap problem: I've only had the machine for a week & only 
been using Linux for a week (though I had 8 years of UNIX about 6 years 
ago). Some hardware wasn't connected & the guy who sold it to me has 
been having me rearrange cables & devices, etc over the phone. Now, 
during a boot I get a: Activating swap partition: swapon: /dev/hde3 no 
such ... FAILED ... but it boots fine & I can do eveything. Later on in 
dmesg, I think, or
some log file, it appears that the swap partition is OK.

Anyways, I'll work that out, I just don't want to have to reinstall ALL 
of garnome if there's
any way not to.

Thanks
