I thought it was fully compiled, but I didn't check back before I closed the compile window (my bad). There are only 3.5GB free on my \var directory, so it's possible.
I tried replacing the /var/tmp/portage directory with a symlink to my data drive to a directory owned by portage (group and user) on that drive, but portage failed to compile on that directory, quoting acces denied errors as it tried to create the necessary temporary directories. What is the correct way to set portage up to compile on another drive?
