In my case /var/cache is just 16M so no need to look there. Another option is to mount some parts of your filesystem as tmpfs. This will put files on the main memory and not on the hard drive. Take care that this files will be gone when you unmount or restart. You can save some more space with FEATURES="noman noinfo nodoc" placed in /etc/make.conf Regards, Kfir
