[gentoo-user] Why is /var full?

[Aaron Walker]

I just installed gentoo for the first time earlier this week.  Got 
everything up and running perfectly.  I am very impressed.  Anyways... I 
ran 'emerge openoffice' last night before I left for work, and when I 
came home there was an error. I went to emerge another package 
(evolution) and immediatly got another error.  Upon rebooting I noticed 
somewhere it said device is full, so I ran df and noticed that the 2GB 
/var partition was full and I am assuming that is the reason I cannot 
run emerge successfully.  Why is /var full already?  I thought 2GB would 
be overkill. Was I wrong?  What can I do to clean it out?  Should I make 
a larger partition for /var?

Thanks,
Aaron
