Lots of good advice already, but I thought that I'd chime in to |
8 |
suggest that you use `eclean` to free up space in distfiles, but only |
9 |
removing downloaded files which aren't going to be used again. This |
10 |
means that you don't need to re-download if you re-merge, and lightens |
11 |
server load. |

Another obvious suggestion: unless you're on a very constrained |
14 |
system, consider re-partitioning to give yourself more root space -- I |
15 |
very happily ran gentoo inside ~7 GiB for a very long time without |
16 |
needing to shuffle things about. I recently bought one of these and a |
17 |
16GiB SD card to quickly add space to my HTPC without disassembly (and |
18 |
warranty-voiding). |
