And if you go back one step you'll find other ways to speed up Portage. |

What I do is keep $PORTDIR and $DISTDIR on seperate partitions. Having a small |
| 13 |
partition for $PORTDIR ensures that all of Portage will be in the same place |
| 14 |
on the harddrive. $DISTDIR is on a separate partition because otherwise it |
| 15 |
wouldn't be a small partition. ;) $PKGDIR is not on a separate partition |
| 16 |
because I don't use it. Also Portage 2.1 (which is not supported by cdb) is |
| 17 |
nice. :) |
