eclean is part of app-portage/gentoolkit. It is pretty conservative |
| 10 |
by default, so you should read the man page and consider using the |
| 11 |
--destructive option. |

You may also consider moving /usr/portage/distfiles and |
| 14 |
/usr/portage/packages to another filesystem where you have more room. |
| 15 |
Again, "man make.conf", and look for the DISTDIR and PKGDIR options. |
| 16 |
On my system, the filesystem that contains /usr/portage is only 1G in |
| 17 |
size! |
