How long should an install of Gentoo be?
I want:
- apache2
- mysql
- php
- perl
That's about it. At current this relatively basic install of Gentoo is taking over 3G. Does that make any sense?
Does anybody have suggestions on how to go about pruning down an install or finding the offending folders? |

zeveck,
You have all the source files in /usr/portage/distfiles which you may delete.
They will be fetched again as required.

Thanx! Now I am down to 2.5G used. Does that still seem high, or does that sound about right?
Is there a way I can just list what is in my world file? |

zeveck,
How are you measuring your 2.5Gb used ?
Including <swap> space is not really fair, which is what you get by taking the free space away from the drive size.
Post the output of and tell us what you have installed.
i.e. a console system with webserver or GNOME/KDE ?
I have basic console systems installed on 2Gb drives and I still have all the sources from the stage 1 that I can dump.
The command will tell you where all the space is used but you will want to read its man page to see how to restrict the output.

Output of df -h:
| Code: |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted On
/dev/hda3 3.5G 2.5G 878M 74% /
none 78M 0 78M 0% /dev/shm
|
And in case it is useful:
| Code: |
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 5 40131 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 6 68 506047+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda3 69 524 3662820 83 Linux

I originally built from a stage one.
I cannot do an emerge -info or anything because I updated GCC and it killed emerge, amongst other things. |
