Try Voyage Linux [a], it is a stripped down derivative of Debian. IIRC Voyage One also has asterisk included. It comes with an easy to use shell utility that will create a bootable image on a CF disk and you are good to go! It works very well on the ALIX and Soekris boards.

If you are limited in space than you can try to delete the man pages and
documentation in other than your language. see localepurge package.
delete mans could be a chaos while uninstall packages, I use this script
for blank all the NOT ENGLISH man pages...
lazaro@utopian:~# cat /usr/local/bin/manclean.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/man || exit 0
for i in $(ls -l |grep -v man[0-9]|awk {'print $9'}); do
for b in $i/*/*.[0-9].gz; do
test -f $b echo '' $b
done
done
# EOF
for blank ALL the man's pages, just strip the grep -v between |
You could also do the same with /usr/share/doc/'s content :D
lazaro@utopian:~# cat /usr/local/bin/desdoc.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/doc/ || exit 0
for doc in $(find /usr/share/doc -type f); do
test -f $doc echo '' $doc
done
# EOF
Exim could also be very big, you could use msmtp-mta for replace local
mta and still get mails from cron ;)
Other big source of uneeded bytes are the logs, usin the same medicine
lazaro@utopian:~# cat /usr/local/bin/limpialogs.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/log/ || exit 0
for logn in $(find /var/log/ -type f|grep .*[0-9]); do
test -f $logn rm $logn
done
for log in $(find /var/log/ -type f); do
test -f $log echo '' $log
done
# EOF
OH! last but not less important
aptitude clean
Que tenga un buen día y mucho sexo en la noche. Saludos

remove unwanted services/packages
Hi. i have done a clean install of debian making use of the debootstrap and installing only the base system in a pcengines ALIX 2d13. This system will run only asterisk (CLI) and i need it to be as skinny as possible. i have removed exim4 and ftp. What other services/packages i could remove to make it as light as possible? There is nothing such as gui on this system. the installation of asterisk will take place by me from source. Some guidance please, to trim it down.

Vital packages then ask to enter a loong phrase, which I do not so they'll stay installed. Then, I simple enable one by one packages which gave me features I need. As I said, it is risky, and I do not think I would like to use such a procedure on a computer which is not mine. The other solution, far easier, faster and safer, but which need a full re-installation, is to install debian, and when the installer asks you to select packages you want, to uncheck all boxes, including base system. Even without base system, you will have tools to install/remove packages, including aptitude. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
