Support #418
Updated by Daniel Curtis almost 10 years ago
While tinkering with my Raspberry Pi, I wanted to deploy something streamlined. So I needed to remove all the packages that I have deemed unnecessary to obtain as close to a bare installation as possible. * The exact command I used to remove the packages: <pre> sudo apt-get remove wolfram-engine penguinspuzzle scratch dillo squeak-vm squeak-plugins-scratch sonic-pi idle idle3 netsurf-gtk netsurf-common </pre> * Next, run a little bit of housekeeping: <pre> sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get clean </pre> * And then remove example files and optional files: <pre> rm -rf /home/pi/python_games sudo rm -rf /opt/vc </pre> This will remove more than 500MB of space, and bring the installation down under 2GB. This regained space can be used for swap to increase the performance of the RPi.
