I'd like to remove all gentoo-sources because I have very little free memory (don't ask why :oops: ). I won't have to recompile kernel, so could I do
Code:
# emerge -C gentoo-sources

to erase /usr/src and get 250 Mb?

By the way how can I change the topic headline to add '[SOLVED]'?

Its safe to remove, but you will need them when you build modules or other kernel-specific stuff.
You can also clean your distfiles directory.

To add [solved], you edit your first post and change the topic.
