Yes, i think it's the corner stone... XFree isn't necessary for a Unix |
| 10 |
system. But you will notice that it has it's own FS, its binaries |
| 11 |
are'nt installed under /usr/bin, nor its libs. That's a good thing and |
| 12 |
that exactly what i would have for other non necessary softwares. |

I don't ask for a easy way, i was only asking if it was possible |
| 21 |
without breaking the whole stuff. Another story is to know if Portage |
| 22 |
developpers are agree with this or not: i'm not going to swim again |
| 23 |
the flood: i'm able to do manually the installations under |
| 24 |
/usr/local, but i wonder if i could do so with emerge to make |
| 25 |
maintenance of my system easier. |
