FYI, if you run into something like this again, you might find it easier to use `head -n 20` which will limit the output to the first 20 lines. For example: $ sudo make 2>&1 | head -n 20 The 2>&1 bit tells the command window to redirect output from the error stream (id 2) to the output stream (id 1). This is so that the head command will properly read any lines going to the error stream and not just ignore them. And yes, there is a tail command too :). - Reece
