How about putting the sources into a squashfs? I've been doing so with /usr/portage on my netbook with its small HDD for a long time now to save a couple o’ 100 megs. Since /usr/src will then be read-only, you’ll have to prepare the image outside of the system, which also means that you can’t use portage’s *sources on the system in question. My 3.10 vanilla sources of about 605 megs (du -sch) get steamed down to a 120 MB image. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.
