I guess it can be done as long as the merges don't overlap
each other and attempt to install common packages. To be
honest, I don't do it since it's not worth the risk to me.

Hello,
Could anyone tell me wether I can run multiple instances
of emerge at the same
time or not? I guess it depends on how well it loks the
portage database?
I'm asking because I'd like to run a big emerge (e.g.
mozilla or kde) and then
run several smaller ones (e.g. host, pciutils) at the
same time so I can get
on with configuring and setting up the little bits while
the big bits are
building.

I have done this on several occasions, but even as I
write this someone
else is writing to say that you should never ever ever do
this. I did
have some problems with my world file at one point, but a
regenworld
fixed it fine.
