Before you decide to remove something do some testing. |
16 |
start by running |
17 |
$ du -sh /* |
18 |
Then see what grabs the most, or what seems not in place. |
19 |
Then try to run the command again in the directory that seems to be too big. |
20 |
|
21 |
In my case /var/cache is just 16M so no need to look there. |
22 |

23 |
Another option is to mount some parts of your filesystem as tmpfs. |
24 |
This will put files on the main memory and not on the hard drive. |
25 |
Take care that this files will be gone when you unmount or restart. |
26 |
|
27 |
You can save some more space with |
28 |
FEATURES="noman noinfo nodoc" |
29 |
placed in /etc/make.conf |
