rm -rf /var/log/* Would you not be better to just truncate the files in /var/log? for name in /var/log/* ; do cat </dev/null >/$name ; done

Hi all, I made some more minimizations to debian-live using the mini hook. The mini flavor with default kernel now takes only 37MB and with networking 43MB Here's the content of the file: # /usr/share/make-live/hooks/mini - hook list for make-live(8) # Remove unused packages apt-get remove --purge --yes apt-utils libdb4.4 aptitude live-package casper # Remove unused files rm -rf /usr/share/doc/* rm -rf /usr/share/locale/* rm -rf /usr/share/man/* rm -rf /usr/share/i18n/* rm -rf /usr/share/info/* rm -rf /var/log/* rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* rm -rf /var/cache/apt/ mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial I still don't know the full consequences of these file removes, nor made thorough tests, but it seems to work ;) The only problematic removal is rm -rf /var/log/* that should be less aggressive... Notes: * The hook removes aptitude which make-live uses. I patched make-live to use apt-get instead of aptitude. * This hook can be used with other flavors using "make-live --hook mini" * Baobab is a great tool for finding big directories :) * Another quite big directory is /usr/share/zoneinfo... safe to remove or at least part of it? * Improvements are most welcome...
