I assume you've checked whether it is 64-bit compatible. Not all Core 2 Duo's in 6400's are. I have a T2400 processor in my 6400 which is not em64t enabled. Not that I mind - plenty quick enough in 32-bit mode. cat /proc/cpuinfo look for em64t in flags to make sure. > > My question concerns sharing some directories between the two > (naturally only one is active at a time). > > In particular can I share > > * distfiles (DISTDIR) definitely - it's source code after all. Not sure about the others - logs is an output so should be safe, tmp may have some portage state stuff in it but I know nothing... W. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
