Only things I can think of:
1. delete some files (probably not possible on usr partition) ;
2. backup your partition, and rerun mkfs.ext2 or mkfs.ext3 and
use the -i option (see man page)

Some advice is given in the handbook on creating partitions to
install gentoo.

Probably. Sometimes, not all packages are included as dependency
if they are not strictly required. If you do want them to be
upgraded, add --with-bdeps to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in
/etc/make.conf. Or, like you did, upgrade them manually...

Do you  have --with-bdep set in /etc/make.conf?

Re: [gentoo-user] /dev/.udev - safe to remove ?

2010-04-22 Thread Bert Swart
Hi,

No, you should allow this dir:
set ALLOWHIDDENDIR=/dev/.udev in /etc/rkhunter.conf
