In your situation (nothing significant in /home, about to build *enormous* packages - thanks for the links) I think I would mount a spare partition somewhere empty (/opt, or /usr/local or even /opt/itk) to save copying vast amounts of data over. Probably, you'll regret stripping it if you are going to need to debug your own code which uses it. If you continue to use LFS and such big packages in the future, you might want to repartition when you build the replacement system, so that / is a lot bigger. > i was surprised to see the size of the /proc partition.this was around > 850mb.Is this what we expect? Depends how you are trying to measure it - in my case, du and df both know it is of length 0 (zero). 'ls -lR' shows a lot of empty directories and files, a fairly small /proc/config.gz, about a GiB of /proc/kcore, and quite a lot of file-descriptors all of length 64. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
