Well, right now I'm just doing a rm -rfv /usr/portage/distfiles/* every |
| 7 |
few hours. It works but it did fill up once. The system was still |
| 8 |
running but the emerge had failed. It couldn't create a directory that |
| 9 |
it needed, you know the rest. It did let me use the rm command though. |

I'm trying to set up a rig for my Mom. I may be moving soon and I want |
| 12 |
her to learn how to use a puter, she's in her 70's so this will be fun, |
| 13 |
we tried once before. She has trouble grasping that she moves her hand |
| 14 |
and the mouse pointer moves. o_@ Clicking is fun too. LOL |

Maybe I can make it without to many more crashes. At least when it |
| 17 |
crashes it doesn't bork the whole system. Poor thing. 1GHz proc and |
| 18 |
256MBs of ram and a whimpy sized, slow as syrup hard drive. :( |

Somewhat off topic, what files can I safely delete in /tmp and /var ? I |
| 21 |
know not to delete the logs but some stuff is taking up some space. It |
| 22 |
sort of needs it. |
