A friend recently gave me a SimpleTech Zeus 8GB SSD. I'd like to replace
my hard drive with this SSD for the lower latency and faster access
times it will provide.
Currently my / partition is 24GB, 20GB of which is in use. Using
xdiskusage I see that /usr/portage and /var/tmp are using approximately
10GB, which is well over the 7.5GB I have on the SSD.
So, I'm wondering what suggestions the list has for squeezing Gentoo
onto an SSD. I have another Gentoo box I could put /usr/portage on to
save myself some room on the SSD.
Aside from NFS mounting the package source and build directories, is
there anything else I can do to minimize the space needed? I'm not
running anything terribly fancy. I have DR17/enlightenment and XFCE
installed as window managers; along with some productivity applications.
Thanks for your feedback,
Hal Martin
