First, let me report success (I ran the emerge of nvidia-drivers after
LO finished and it worked fine) and thanks.

I didn't realize that I could run emerges together.
The emerge of LO was the penultimate merge coming from an
    emerge update world
(the last was LO-l10n)
While this LO merge was in progress could I have safely started another
    emerge update world
?

I am guessing the point is that, since the running emerge was
essentially just LO, it was safe to run the nvidia-drivers emerge since
there are no shared dependencies.  Is emerge by some chance clever
enough that you can always start an update world, while one is running?

thanks again,
allan
