what I meant with "redo my partitions" was in the way that I will expand my gentoo partition (or try to).
I have:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4 4.6G 3.8G 803M 83% /
udev 252M 808K 252M 1% /dev
/dev/hda5 23G 20G 3.3G 86% /mnt/share
/dev/hda1 9.8G 8.0G 1.8G 82% /mnt/windows
none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm
Options:
- erase hda1 (win$) and merge with with hda4.
- somehow rearrange hda5 (which is FAT) and split it 2, and merge a part to hda4.
what are the advantages of pointing PORTAGE_TMPDIR and DISTDIR to other partitions?
thanks for the localepurge tip:
- Total disk space freed by localepurge: 48448K (not bad ;)
Cheers,
Fernando

805Mb is not much but re-partitioning might not be the only answer if most
of your system is installed already.
Look for PORTAGE_TMPDIR and DISTDIR in your /etc/make.conf. Point them
to directories that are on a different partition. You can do the same for
your PORTDIR (resync and delete the old tree after this).
app-admin/localepurge can also save you some space.
