Maybe a wrapper script or an alias like this might be a simple solution. alias emerge="mount /usr/portage/packages ; /usr/bin/emerge " Put that in your .bashrc file and it will be ready for you every time you login. A wrapper script in your ~/bin directory might be better, as it would let you unmount the directory after emerge has finished. You may need to add that to your execution $PATH variable in .bashrc ~/bin/emerge #!/bin/bash mount /usr/portage/packages emerge $* umount /usr/portage/packages -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?
