Installing Q's on a Ultra1

I'm having issues getting Gentoo installed. I have two 4.2GB disks, /dev/sda1 and 2. If I follow the suggested partitioning scheme per the installation guidelines, I run out of space in /usr during the emerge process.

Can someone give me a suggestion on a partition scheme that might work? Perhaps move /home to /dev/sdb1?

I don't know the suggested partitioning scheme but why dont u change it for yourself (I guess the scheme is more a "guideline"). if ur running out of space increase the diskspace on that partition or put /usr/portage somewhere else and mount it to /usr/portage ?

The first thing I would try is putting /var on a separate partition. Portage compiles everything in /var/tmp/portage, so I think if you're running out of space during emerge that's going to be the bottleneck.

Of course, as ever, I could be wrong...
