Hi!
Is it possible to emerge a special package into another locate than /? E. g. into /usr/local/<package>?
I'd like to install openoffice-bin-3.0.0_beta1 but I don't want to remove my running openoffice-2.4.0 (because of it's 4 hours, 31 minutes and 56 seconds compiling time).

Another possibility would be, to backup the existing openoffice-2.4.0 files via quickpkg, but I would prefer emerging into /usr/local/.

To my knowledge this isn't possible. The nearest you can get is using a chroot.
