Look for PORTAGE_TMPDIR and DISTDIR in your /etc/make.conf. Point them to directories that are on a different partition. You can do the same for your PORTDIR (resync and delete the old tree after this). app-admin/localepurge can also save you some space. HTH -- T.G. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
