I am thinking of setting up another partition and dual booting amd64. My question concerns sharing some directories between the two (naturally only one is active at a time). In particular can I share * distfiles (DISTDIR) * logs (PORT_LOGDIR) * tmp (PORTAGE_TMPDIR) Thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
