Hi,
  I am using debian unstable 64. Recently I wanted to compile a 2.6.34 kernel.
  Well, the source package is 64MB. Before `make-kpkg linux-image
linux-headers --initrd` finished, the source directory took 6GB space,
made the volume full.
  Tried a few times, the problem is still there, and always the same.
  What should I do? Thanks.
