cp -a /usr/portage/ /home Just to be safe, temporarily rename /usr/portage to portage.old mv /usr/portage /usr/portage.old Then change the /etc/make.profile symlink to point to the new location. cd /etc rm -rf make.profile ln -s /home/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0 make.profile (this is just an example from my system- you may using a different profile- check with emerge --info) Edit /etc/make.conf (add this line) PORTDIR=/home/portage Run an emerge --sync to check if it works. It should, and you can then do: rm -rf /usr/portage.old -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
