endecotp Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 I have removed these packages: iw wireless-regdb rfkill hostapd (no wifi) ntfs-3g btrfs-progs (filesystems I don't use) stress iozone3 (benchmarks) qrencode (huh?!) alsa-utils (no sound) ifenslave (not needed I think) sunxi-tools (different processor) command-not-found (don't want it) And then apt autoremove to remove corresponding libraries etc.
stut Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 If you need to free up space try installing localepurge to remove unwanted languages from docs and man pages and such. When every megabyte counts this will help a lot without having to remove any programs. Select no when asked about the exclude path option to process already installed stuff. If you select yes it will only strip the languages from newly installed stuff. 1
