My usual suspect for disk space in /usr/share/doc is kdelibs, with the doc use flag turned on it installs the whole kde api documentation, which takes a lot of space ... so I either set -doc for kde-base/kdelibs, or just set -doc globally and just enable it for things i now I might need... (note that that won't remove all of the /usr/share/doc dirs / files, but removes most of the large ones...) yoyo > > So the questions are ... in cases like this, what should be done? what is > storing this much space? logs?
