       Tom,

yes, this is the role of local.sh.

this should be easy.

1) first make a backup of /tmp/cado.lR7LfORi6V

2) then run:

cadofactor.pl n=296...911 wdir=/tmp/cado.lR7LfORi6V 
param=/tmp/cado.lR7LfORi6V/c135.param -v

it should ask you whether you want to start the linear algebra again, then
answer "yes".

Note: for large factorization it is recommended to use the cadofactor.pl
script instead of factor.sh, since it is easier to restart a broken
factorization, by just restarting the script with the same arguments.
