Hi, |

Maybe you could just build xorg-server as a package without installing |
| 4 |
it and then use the redirection facilities of tar to unpack the |
| 5 |
packages in the directory you like. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The drawback is that you won't be able to automatically upgrade |
| 8 |
xorg-server through portage, I suppose ... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I'm surprised that there is no relocation feature in portage though I |
| 11 |
know it's very tricky ... |
