[gentooppc-user] Excessive disk use?

[Marcio Luis Teixeira]

Hi,

I'm beginning to run out of space on my 2 GB root partition for gentoo. I've 
already learned about "/var/tmp/portage" and "/usr/portage/distfiles" and 
have cleaned them out.

What I don't understand is that my gentoo installation seems to take up more 
disk space than the old precompiled SuSE PPC distribution I had on this 
machine before. My gentoo installation lacks "gnome" and has a lot less stuff 
installed, so I would expect it to be smaller, not larger.

So I have a few questions: 1) Have I missed cleaning out any important 
directories? 2) Is there any special flags I must put in "/etc/make.conf" to 
avoid code bloat (I have a PPC 603ev). Right now I've noticed that all the 
CFLAG lines were commented out in that file, apparently I have been compiling 
with the defaults -- is this the problem? What's the best way to fix this 
(short of redoing the entire gentoo installation).

Thanks,
