Hi all
In 7.14, the book recommends to remove the temporary domumentation, by
rm -rf /usr/share/{info,man,doc}/*
I think the same could be done with the locale files, by
find /usr/share/locale -name "*.mo" -delete
This would save another 70 MB of disk space. I highly doubt anyone
would want to perform chapter 8 in a different language, and after
that, they all got re-installed.
But what would that really save if the files are going to be immediately
replaced in Chapter 8? I suppose that it might save a little space in
the backup tarball if the user is going to create that, but is it a
significant amount of space if it is compressed?
About 70 MB, but as the page states that deleting the documentation also
only saves about 35 MB, I thought that another 70 MB would be a good
idea. However, as the 35 MB are the compressed size, you are right that
it would probably only save another 10-15 MB.
If I were going remove the locale files, I would change:
rm -rf /usr/share/{info,man,doc}/*
That would certainly simplify things a lot, I agree.
Bye
Tim
