Already gone. I use http-replicator from my main rig.

I didn't know if it would bork my system if I deleted them or not. >3 (Tough Love): You don't want to get rid of KDE, but there's a good >chance you don't need all of KDE-- you might consider trimming it. > > I plan to let my mom use it if I move so I hope I can keep it all.

Most likely the whole thing though. ;) >5 (Tough Love 2): Consider not keeping every d*mn thing on your >computer's drive all the time. > Right now, it only runs folding.

Sort of funny, I need room but I need to install something to see what can go. LOL I'll check into it though, for my main rig for sure. >Hope this helps, >Holly > > I did remove a kernel that I am not using. I also pruned a few other things that was not needed. I was at 92% or so, now I am at 70%. That /var/tmp/portage was pretty big. At least I can run folding now. Thanks for the help.
