I ran df and ll between each individual unmerge. The individual kernels take approx 250 megs, freshly emerged. Compiling generates another 200 megs worth of object code, etc. Here's partial output of "ll" before the cleanup. Note that 2.6.16-r7, 2.6.17-r7, and 2.6.18-r3 were compiled, as well as the current 2.6.19-r5. drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 744 Sep 6 2006 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 744 May 4 2006 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r6 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1488 Oct 14 02:14 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r7 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 744 Jun 13 2006 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r9 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 712 Jul 29 2006 linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1448 Sep 6 2006 linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 744 Sep 16 2006 linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 712 Nov 12 09:01 linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r2 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1328 Feb 17 18:51 linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 712 Dec 24 22:14 linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r5 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 712 Jan 14 20:15 linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r6 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1328 Mar 8 19:32 linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 I don't mind the 30 or 40 megs for the source tarball+patches in my distfiles directory. But the quarter gig for each minor "r" bump, most of which I never build, is a bit much. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 Q.
