Even if it works it may be confusing. Why not just make two=20 > subdirs in the same place and use one as PORTAGE_TMPDIR for each system..? How can that happen? As I mentioned, I would be dual booting into *either* x86 or amd64. There is only one computer (my laptop) involved; all filesystems are local. Perhaps your suggestion of separate subdirs is better for clarity, but I don't see how the problem you mentioned can occur in my situation. thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
