I ran into a problem when trying to install Gentoo on a 4gig drive.Try running this command:
Background info if needed... ******************************* The system in question is: Micronics C400 motherboard; Intel 440BX PHX 4e chipset; DMA/33 support on board. PII 300MHz; Slot 1 proc. 128M's pc66 SDRAM memory Intel 8M AGP vid card What appears to be a 4gig drive. Specifics: "Western Digital" WD Caviar-35100-Enhanced IDE drive 10672 Cyl * 15 Heads * 63 Spt * 5163.5 MB
*******************************
Relevant HD configuration info:
I configured the drive with the following: Primary hda1 boot +64M "Ext3" Primary hda2 swap +128M Primary hda3 root + the rest of whats left of the drive. "Reiserfs"
******************************* After downloading the 94M i686 stage3.tar.bz2 file and doing an "emerge sync" per the directions at stage 9 of the install guide, I was prompted to make sure to get the latest version of "Portage" installed before installing anything else basically.
So before doing a "emerge system" I ran through the rest of the install guide; rebooted; ejected CD and now I'm booting off the HD. At this point I login with user name and password. . /etc/profile su and then did a "emerge -u system" and it updated the Portage version and then started compiling the files for the baselayout and some others that I can't remember off the top of my head.
Sorry, I can't remember exactly where/at which file it was compiling but I started to get some
kind of error that I ran out of disk space and it kept repeating this over and over. Since then I Fdisked the drive and started over again and I've configured the drive with the same
settings above. I'm downloading this image right now so I wanted to get an idea of what I need to
do so that this doesn't happen again. Has anyone else ran into this type of issue and if so what do I need to do to overcome my drive
not running out of space?
I thought that this was kindof strange seeing that I haven't even installed Xfree or any other window manager yet or any other software for that matter.
Thanks, JBanks

rm -r * /usr/portage/distfiles rm -r * /usr/tmp/portage
That will clean out any builds that failed(the partly compiled part), and will clean out the downloaded files.
That should get you some disk space.
