Thought about emerge

Hello everyone,

Good news, thanks to all the help I got on this list, my Alpha XL-366 is 
now running Gentoo. The essential things work great (booting, kernel, 
apache2, perl, ssh, samba).

I'm now in the process of emerging and compiling the 88 packages needed 
for kde (geez, that'll take a while) :-)

I was thinking, is there someplace where all the "end-of-emerge notes" 
are put after an emerge? You know, the little reminders like :

-----------------------------------------------------------
 * The configuration file has changed from that in XFree86.
 * It is xorg.conf instead of XF86Config.
 * You may use xorgcfg, X -configure, or xorgconfig
 * to create xorg.conf.
 * If XF86Config exists and xorg.conf does not, it will still
 * read XF86Config.
-----------------------------------------------------------

which I'd really like to read, but which I'll probably mostly miss 
because I'll be sleeping while they scroll past my screen... When 
emerging something that really has a lot of dependencies, like kde which 
in my case had 88 (including xorg-x11 of course), it would be nice if 
those notes would go into a file, which I could read once the whole 
process is done. Or even better, they could all be saved and shown on 
screen at the end of the whole emerge, instead of after their specific 
packages... That way we'd be sure to be able to read them.

Does anything like that exist? I can't really think of an alternative, 
since I'd really like to use the time while I sleep to do some 
compiling, but then I miss all these important notes...

Thanks,

J-S
