Hi, |
| 22 |
Yes, you can (i even do it ;-) remove old package sources. The single drawback is that if |
| 23 |
you need to downgrade (rarely happens) you have to download them again (i use "distclean" script). |
| 24 |
Check www.gentooexperimental.org for this and other usefull scripts. |
| 25 |
To your second question-just think (not sure) this are only parts of the old installs. |
| 26 |
As far as you removed (emerge -C) the previous packages, this isn't a great problem. |
| 27 |
Check the dirs content. |
