The information in /var/db/pkg is more nicely accessed through the utilities in app-portage/portage-utils and app-portage/gentoolkit. Install theses packages and play with the tools - it will make your gentoo-life a lot nicer :) A must (at least for me) is also app-portage/eix to access the information in /usr/portage quickly. > Because after the intial installation the gentoo system only contains > few packages and it takes up about 2.5 GB … Where other distro’s like > slackware would take up 2.5 GB for every thing with out KDE or > Gnome . 1st: # rm /usr/portage/distfiles/* Then: Gentoo installs (in binary distros terms) all "*-dev" packages (all libs and headers), as it needs this for compiling - that blows the system a lot. In my system (GNOME, lots of servers, development software) the installed package DB (/var/db/pkg) is about 200 MB. The portage tree (/usr/portage) is about 500 MB for everybody... > Where should I look for information … * Use 'qsize' from app-portage/portage-utils to find out package sizes. * Use 'du -sm /* /*/* | sort -n' to take a first peak at how files are distributed on your disk.
