Then used these tools to find files by size and date. Let's assume we're talking about /usr/portage/distfiles for example: REMOVING LARGE FILES IN /usr/portage/distfiles find ./ -size +100000 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less find ./ -size +100000 -print -exec rm {} \; You can then changethe size and work your way down. Now let's look at old files in /usr/portage/disfiles REMOVING OLD FILES IN /usr/protage/distfiles find ./ -mtime +180 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less find ./ -mtime +180 -print -exec rm {} \; It really helps if you do this a the 90% point, and avoid sluggish behavior. Look at /home too. If you have one big partition, as recommended in the handbook then removing any files will help. /usr/src/* is another place to remove kernel sources, similarly, /boot/ Be cautions! hth, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
