Hi, I have to use X for my application (vdr), but X (and dependencies) take a lot of space, which I want to reduce. Most of it can be found under /usr/share:
(build) hive mediamachine # du --max-depth=1 -h devroot/usr/share/ 132K devroot/usr/share/eselect 24K devroot/usr/share/busybox 8.0K devroot/usr/share/xsessions 12K devroot/usr/share/my_layout 356K devroot/usr/share/ntp 4.0K devroot/usr/share/man 8.0K devroot/usr/share/hwdata 20K devroot/usr/share/et 24K devroot/usr/share/baselayout 28K devroot/usr/share/aclocal 12K devroot/usr/share/ss 16K devroot/usr/share/xorg 4.0K devroot/usr/share/info 4.0K devroot/usr/share/doc 752K devroot/usr/share/fluxbox 12M devroot/usr/share/fonts 1.6M devroot/usr/share/misc 5.4M devroot/usr/share/X11 20M devroot/usr/share/ (build) hive mediamachine # du --max-depth=1 -h devroot/usr/share/X11/ 12K devroot/usr/share/X11/app-defaults 3.0M devroot/usr/share/X11/xkb 2.3M devroot/usr/share/X11/locale 5.4M devroot/usr/share/X11/ The big apples are /usr/share/fonts, /usr/share/X11/xkb, and /usr/share/X11/locale. These dirs contain this: (build) hive mediamachine # ls devroot/usr/share/fonts/ 100dpi 75dpi Type1 cyrillic encodings misc ttf-bitstream-vera (build) hive mediamachine # ls devroot/usr/share/X11/xkb/ compat geometry keycodes.dir rules symbols types.dir compat.dir geometry.dir keymap semantics symbols.dir xkbcomp compiled keycodes keymap.dir semantics.dir types (build) hive mediamachine # ls devroot/usr/share/X11/locale/ C iso8859-11 iso8859-9e locale.alias vi_VN.tcvn armscii-8 iso8859-13 ja locale.dir vi_VN.viscii compose.dir iso8859-14 ja.JIS microsoft-cp1251 zh_CN el_GR.UTF-8 iso8859-15 ja.S90 microsoft-cp1255 zh_CN.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 iso8859-2 ja.SJIS microsoft-cp1256 zh_CN.gb18030 georgian-academy iso8859-3 ja.U90 mulelao-1 zh_CN.gbk georgian-ps iso8859-4 ja_JP.UTF-8 nokhchi-1 zh_HK.UTF-8 ibm-cp1133 iso8859-5 ko pt_BR.UTF-8 zh_HK.big5 iscii-dev iso8859-6 ko_KR.UTF-8 tatar-cyr zh_HK.big5hkscs isiri-3342 iso8859-7 koi8-c th_TH zh_TW iso8859-1 iso8859-8 koi8-r th_TH.UTF-8 zh_TW.UTF-8 iso8859-10 iso8859-9 koi8-u tscii-0 zh_TW.big5 Now I'm wondering, if I really need all this stuff. At the moment I plan to run an English system, perhaps adding German, both unicode. I do not need fancy X fonts for vdr. Do you have any suggestions, what I can delete and what I should keep?
