In that case I would create /usr on one filesystem and /portage on |
| 12 |
another partition then create /usr/portage and mount /portage to it |
| 13 |
then untar your file. It should look like this: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
/dev/hdx1 (/usr) |
| 16 |
/dev/hdx2 (/portage) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
/usr/portage -> /portage |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Seems to be the most straightforward way of doing it to me. |

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. |
