It is better that you back up what you may need again in the future, just in case. The portage mirrors are currently handing out terabytes each day so the less each of us uses them the better. Of course, if you will never ever need to reinstall your system or never ever need to install a new system then by all means delete away! Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
