Since we're both debian "/usr"s .. maybe you could "/share" it with me so I could get rid of mine..? :-) apart from the doc/ tree -- I could probably view those docs online if I ever .. ever .. need to .. seems that all the locales that I have no use for .. fonts .. (from various packages) .. and games (tuxracer in particular) .. account for most of the 700M. I don't really want to just start deleting stuff in /usr/share/ one directory at a time because most of it is part of packages that I don't want to remove and I'd rather stay on good terms with apt. I don't think there's a way to tell apt -- OK .. So, I've read the README and the debian-README and the changelog .. and the release notes .. I very mych doubt I will read them again .. please remove them. What bothers me, though, is that a lot of the stuff in /usr/share/ -- one Meg here .. 600K there .. etc. apparently belongs to packages I have removed (apt-get remove package-name) .. Probably adds up to a hundred Meg or thereabout .. Looks like I should have specified a purge flag or whatever and I would probably have freed up a couple more hundred Megs.. probably too late now.
