Hello group, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to build kind of a minimal gentoo setup with X support. All I |
| 4 |
need is |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
- X11 and a Window Manager |
| 7 |
- Mozilla Firefox |
| 8 |
- Lighttpd |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I use Gnome at this time. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
du reports the following directories as the biggest directories on my |
| 13 |
system: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
/usr/lib 418 MB |
| 16 |
/usr/portage 1200 MB |
| 17 |
/usr/share 550 MB |
| 18 |
/usr/src 560 MB (Kernel Sources) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The other directories are very small. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I think, the system is quite heavy in size, isn't it? I really would |
| 23 |
like to be able to shrink it down but not loosing functionality. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Now I'm looking for tips to reduce disk consumption further. I've |
| 26 |
already cleaned /usr/portage/distfiles. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I read that removing the whole /usr/portage after setting up the system |
| 29 |
is not a good idea. Is that true? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
May be someone could recommend a better window manager (smaller in size, |
| 32 |
stable)? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I really appreciate any kind of recommendation to this topic. |
| 35 |

Kind regards, |
