Best regards, Meino It's not exactly what you want, but it should work: Check the size of the directories under /usr with du: du -hs /usr/* Now you can consider which of them you want to move to your free 4GB space. Lets say, you have decided to move /usr/bin/ and /usr/portage/ to the free space that
