|
|
Hello,
After installing a gentoo system (works fine for me!) I tried to "emerge kde " and after that
"emerge openoffice"
Open office emerge failed because gcc version should have been 3.0.
Fixed that by retrieving the correct version
During emerge openoffice the compilation failed because of disk full.
I tried to clean up my disk but I think all objects etc of the builds sofar are
occupying my disk space. (Are these builds only in /tmp?)
My partition is about 3Gb I think it should be now problem to run a base system with
KDE, Openoffice and mozilla.
Of course I would like to clean up but I wouldn't like to remove stuff that I shouldn't.
After emerge I think I can do a "rm -rf /tmp/*" but are there other dirs I could clean up
or commands I should use? _________________ Dries.

Download source tarballs are stored under /usr/portage/distfiles/ and usally take a lot of space.
You can clean it. Needed packages will be downloaded again.
Temoprary files during builds are stored under /var/tmp/portage (unless changd by you).
You can clean this dir as well. _________________ There's someone in my head but it's not me - Pink Floyd |
