hi everybody

When i emerge a file, emerge saves some files to my disk before compiling (that is the good point)

the bat point for me is that all these files are still on the disk after the installation, adn now my free disk space is getting lower than ever.

My question is: who can i remove these files.

thanks everyone

You can clear those files out by doing:
Code:
root@arma root #  rm /usr/portage/distfiles/*


You can run 'df' to check disk space before and after the file deletion.
