3 Another thing you can do is use fewer partitions. Each partition

14 I could shave another 900 megabytes off / and still have plenty of
15 room. I accomplish this by moving /tmp /usr and /var to the /home
16 partition. The system (/bin and /sbin) is constant. /tmp is where
17 you can put large temporary files. /usr has portage and /usr/bin.
18 /var has the logfiles.
