I'm not aware of previous discussion, maybe it was before my time :) (This quote should have an attribution line, so we know who said it...) >> Only problem with 11.04 liveusb is that it showed 300 updates >> available, and it looked like 200 of them were language packs.

As far as I know, the only way to get this kind of issue is to install hundreds of language packs. Very few people do that, most of us do not speak *that* many languages! There are many packs on the CD, but by default we do not install all of them. The output of dpkg-query -W language-pack-\?\? might be interesting to know in working on this issue. If I am correct, the workaround is to not install (or uninstall!) all the language packs for languages you do not need :) More generally, if you do a lot of updates in a low-disk-space environment, doing sudo apt-get clean can free up significant disk space.
