OK not to be a pain but this is going to be a long compile, so i want to get this right :) Work: Putty (ssh to box.com) to box and start compile (make install) stuff is going all over screen (make installing ), how do i let it keep going and detach to pick up later? after that when i get home to the host box, i open up terminal and get: # i type screen -rd ? I guess where i am not getting it is using putty do i use the screen command BEFORE i start entering the commands?
