How can I find out how much space I need?</blockquote><div><br>The ebuild should have told you something like &quot;you need 256MB RAM and 4-6GB space&quot; and even warn you if you don't have enough. I think there's also a portage FEATURE that makes these checks to abort emerge if they fail, instead of just warn. Can't find the feature's name now, though.
