It is up to you how to rearrange them but I suggest that you have only these partitions for Gentoo: /boot / /home (optional but recommended) (+swap) > > what are the advantages of pointing PORTAGE_TMPDIR and DISTDIR to other > partitions? The idea is, ofcourse, to give your compiles and distfiles more room. This in turn would free up space for your system. > > thanks for the localepurge tip: > - Total disk space freed by localepurge: 48448K (not bad ;) Yeah, it's great. BTW, check out the 'userlocales' USE flag for glibc too. It will speed up the compilation and save some space. -- T.G. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
