> Hi, |

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 |
