Perhaps I need to mention that I normally use CFLAGS=-O2 and the same for CXXFLAGS : not everything respects that, and most sane packages default to -O2, but it does get rid of a lot of debug info. That on its own might explain why I can get by with a lot less than 10GB for '/'. > I > generally build in /tmp which is on a separate partition.

My own "as little as I guessed I needed for vlc" install of 4.8.2 uses about 1.1G. > > If you don't rotate logs, /var/log can get pretty big. > Ah, yes, I'll take your word for that :) > and of course: > > 36G /usr/src > I guess that *some* of that is not current. My own sources are in /home/sources on my server, which I then export as /sources. At the moment the weekly backup (tar, no compression) of /home - including my notes and docs, as well as local copies of the books and the build logs from the server, plus the occasional iso, all fits in 20GB. But then, from time to time I prune out old things that I don't expect to ever build again - before I last did that I was backing up 26GB every week. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
