Yeah, I always keep 2 or 3 known good kernels, and clean out the old |
| 10 |
stuff, so no worries there. |

Hmmm... No, I never did that myself... |

Wow... |

Is this the official gentoo way now? Will a new/fresh virgin install |
| 46 |
have /var/portage instead of /usr/portage? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I can eliminate almost 8GB by moving portage and its storage directories... |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I don't recall seeing a news item about that... |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
But... is /usr/portage the default/recommended location? If so, then I |
| 53 |
don't think I want to move it - I generally never change defaults unless |
| 54 |
there is a very good reason to do so. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
But, is there some official gentoo docs online explaining how to do this? |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Something more to think about... |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Also - is there any kind of maintenance I shoudl be doing on |
| 61 |
/usr/portage to clean old cruft out? Or does portage maintain it already. |
