Hi Tero, |
| 2 |
what I meant with "redo my partitions" was in the way that I will expand my |
| 3 |
gentoo partition (or try to). |
| 4 |
I have: |
| 5 |
# df -h |
| 6 |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on |
| 7 |
/dev/hda4 4.6G 3.8G 803M 83% / |
| 8 |
udev 252M 808K 252M 1% /dev |
| 9 |
/dev/hda5 23G 20G 3.3G 86% /mnt/share |
| 10 |
/dev/hda1 9.8G 8.0G 1.8G 82% /mnt/windows |
| 11 |
none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Options: |
| 14 |
- erase hda1 (win$) and merge with with hda4. |
| 15 |
- somehow rearrange hda5 (which is FAT) and split it 2, and merge a part to |
| 16 |
hda4. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
what are the advantages of pointing PORTAGE_TMPDIR and DISTDIR to other |
| 19 |
partitions? |
| 20 |

thanks for the localepurge tip: |
| 22 |
- Total disk space freed by localepurge: 48448K (not bad ;) |

Cheers, |
| 25 |
