A friend recently gave me a SimpleTech Zeus 8GB SSD. I'd like to replace |
2 |
my hard drive with this SSD for the lower latency and faster access |
3 |
times it will provide. |

Currently my / partition is 24GB, 20GB of which is in use. Using |
6 |
xdiskusage I see that /usr/portage and /var/tmp are using approximately |
7 |
10GB, which is well over the 7.5GB I have on the SSD. |

So, I'm wondering what suggestions the list has for squeezing Gentoo |
10 |
onto an SSD. I have another Gentoo box I could put /usr/portage on to |
11 |
save myself some room on the SSD. |

13 |
Aside from NFS mounting the package source and build directories, is |
14 |
there anything else I can do to minimize the space needed? I'm not |
15 |
running anything terribly fancy. I have DR17/enlightenment and XFCE |
16 |
installed as window managers; along with some productivity applications. |

Thanks for your feedback, |
