I've finished my kernel compile and copying...
copied it to the name kernel-2.6 .. hope that is correct.
My root part is now used at 97% .. and i yet have to install packages... please tell me which files and folders i can remove or move to my other partition.. (i guess i dont need portage files and the stage anymore...)

My hdds / parts..
hdb1 : boot 32Mb
hdb2: swap : 256Mb
Hdb3: root : ~1700mb / 97 % used.
Hdd2 : 2000Mb used for tmp while installation.

Please help me clean up my HDb3. and setup folders/ mountpoints so that new packages installed go there (hdd2) rather than hdb3 (root).

Having around 2Gb for your entire system isn't much. The Portage tree alone takes around 600Mb and any sources you've downloaded are added to that. Clean /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/tmp/portage. Yet you'll always hit the edge with such a small area.

If your hdd2 can be used, you might want to think about migrating /usr to that partition.

You might want to have a look at app-admin/tmpwatch for cleaning out temporary directories and app-admin/localepurge for cleaning out unneeded locale files and localized man pages.
