While not compiling anything, delete everything in /var/tmp/portage. It's where portage unpacks and compiles everything. /usr/portage/distfiles can be cleaned too, but nothing in /usr/portage. > How can I reclaim my lost disk space.

Partition Magic (costly windows program), the tools in sys-fs/ntfsprogs, and parted should be able to do what you need, but it depends on which partitions windows and linux are on. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/k7vqInuLMrk7bIwRAuFMAJ0WDXacYyIEdIIv+pd/zkHvaC85KACeLaW3 HtKvmWrJtzdTP+MXXcfjZFY= =ZDMw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
