Slim Down Debian Install
  • i'm also using a chromebook with 16 gb emmc storage. my installs keep being about 10 gigs with xfce. i was thinking i would end up with just about your numbers but there is almost 5 gigs of other stuff i ended up with from the live disk installer.

  • 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?

    EDIT: I ended up doing a netinstall and got a 6ish gig system so I'm pretty happy with that. The netinstall image was able to detect my wifi card even though the debian live installer was not.

    What song did you love until you found out what it was about?
  • But it's about how the excitement of meth, like that of a new relationship, fades and leaves the speaker wanting something more substantial while still fondly reminiscing about the good times.

    The speaker thinks of the girl as a "sunburn" he "would like to save." He describes meth as something that "will lift you up until you break." I think these characterizations point very strongly toward nostalgic longing and away from the glorification of addiction or even that of drug use. So no reason to feel weird I think.

  • Donald Trump defeats Kamala Harris to become the next U.S. president, NBC News projects
  • Rex Tillerson was a legitimate good conservative pick for the position and made me think maybe Trump would surround himself with competent people. Well, on Rogan's podcast he said his biggest regret was not picking loyal people. We won't have to worry about accidental competency this go round.

  • Tails like distro but not hyper focused on privacy and anonymity, rather general purpose.
  • I read through your post a few times and it seems like you want the option to use your Persistent storage or just use the stick as a default install live boot medium.

    If so, have you thought about using any of the live usbs with persistence and just make multiple users. One where persistence is used and encrypted and one that does not have access to the Persistent partition?

    This lottery winner chose $7-million lump sum over $1K each day for life
  • Money now is worth more than money later. Especially since it would take almost 20 years to make 7 million at 1000 a day(7000000/1000/365 please correct me if I did that wrong). Also, in that 20 years you'll make about 11 million at 5% compounding interest on 7 million capital. That's without spending anything. Taking out low interest loans to pay yourself back for your expenses shouldn't eat up too much though.
