I've manged to keep the system going for the last 10-years and keep my own help-file.txt (notes) how to solve certain problem (but not all :-/) I sometime clean the distribution files with this command (I'm sure there might be a better way). ----------------- cd /usr/portage/distfiles and run this command: (emerge -epf world 2>&1 | perl -ne '$f=join("\n", m@\w://[^\s]+/([^\s]+)@g); print "$f\n" if $f' | sort -u; ls -f) | sort | uniq -c | perl -ane 'print "$F[1]\n" if $F[0]==1 && -f $F[1]' | xargs rm -f ------------------ Regarding keeping the binaries, I'll need to learn how to install compiled binaries from another box. Never, had a chance to do it yet. -- Joseph
