He may can clean out the temp files too. One that comes to mind first |
| 18 |
is /var/tmp/portage. Anything that failed to emerge is in there. If he |
| 19 |
has buildpkg in make.conf, then he may can clean out some of those too, |
| 20 |
in /usr/portage/packages/All. Let's not forget that some of the logs in |
| 21 |
/var/log can have a bit of size to them too. I'm assuming those are on |
| 22 |
the same partition as root. |

Hope some of this helps. I have ran into this on a older machine myself. |
