I have accumulated lots of devel packages over the years, though.
I just found out that yum's --installroot is _not_ meant for installing in a non-default location; this flag, along with rpm's --root flag, are for maintaining separate installations of linux (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682827). So, regarding your accumulated devel packages, do you usually install with yum/rpm or build (i.e., configure --prefix, make, make install) them?
Since relocation is not supported with yum/rpm, how do you manage space? Also, what's the size of your partitions?
Thanks,
