Hello, i was wondering if it is possible to have multiple portage configurations on one system?
Is it possible to just chroot in a directory and using the make.conf, package.use, profile of that directory?
I want just everything happening to this directory including emerge, etc |

skorefish ... see the '--config-root=' parameter in 'man portage'

Of course, thats effectively what you are doing when installing, you chroot to /mnt/gentoo and /mnt/gentoo/ becomes EROOT=/
| Code: | # portageq envvar EROOT
/ |
So, the above chroot will work perfectly fine, though the same considerations need to given as those when installing. Perhaps you should consider using '--root' (again, see 'man portage').
best ... khay |
