Change DISTDIR in /etc/make.conf to point to the new location But this is not a good idea, as distfiles will be owned by root or portage and it's in your home directory owned by you. Rather leave distfiles where it is, and create a symlink in ~ that points to distfiles. I can't imagine how your scheme would benefit you in any way. > I should do both solution. > > thank you > Laurent -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
