It's rather unrewarding picking out packages at random and removing them to find you just saved 500KB. This command will give you a sorted list of package sizes. dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\t${Installed-Size}\n' |sort -rgk2 |less http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11231.html Looking at your list, I notice you have OpenOffice, Abiword and Gnumeric. If you can afford to stick with the latter two and remove the OpenOffice components, I suspect that should save you about 200MB. openoffice.org-core 81200 openoffice.org-common 57456 openoffice.org-help-en-us 22536 openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us 21228 openoffice.org-writer 10700 openoffice.org-calc 9420 openoffice.org-base 7668 openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb 6744 openoffice.org-l10n-en-za 5080 openoffice.org-draw 4604 openoffice.org-java-common 3032 openoffice.org-l10n-en-us 2564 openoffice.org-impress 2144 openoffice.org-math 964 openoffice.org-gtk 544 openoffice.org-evolution 272 openoffice.org-gnome 228 openoffice.org-l10n-common 196 openoffice.org 24 those values are in kbytes. Others that look large are Evolution, gcompris, zope3 (schooltool needs this) and any extra kernels you have installed (you need at least one working kernel obviously). Of course, you need to check if you need these packages. Depending on the age group, gcompris might be very useful.
