If you installed a program that you no longer need, you can do a emerge |
| 16 |
-C <package name> and it will remove it for you. The -C is the same as |
| 17 |
--clean by the way. |

That said, be very careful with that. If you remove some things it can |
| 20 |
break portage, gcc or some other program that the system uses. I would |
| 21 |
strongly recommend you do a equery depends <package name> to make sure |
| 22 |
you do not remove something that will break things. |

Hope that helps and keeps you from hurting at the same time. It's easy |
| 25 |
done. |
