Slim Down Debian Install
Slim Down Debian Install
I've installed debian on an old laptop and am wondering if the 10 gig base system size can be slimmed down by deleting unneeded files.
I ran the commands to look for any runaway logs or other obviously large files and nothing popped out.
Is there a group of folders full of stuff I don't need or is this just the size of modern distros?

Install the headless version, no GUI:
${EDITOR} /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99noRecommends APT::Install-Recommends "0"; APT::Install-Suggests "0";
and then run
apt update
.Then install fluxbox session manager, oughta be enough.
