it is really tiny even for old machines setup.... so the space lost questions

I think there are really low space to gain on tunning packages but big work to
do so....
Can be fun for learning ..that's all
It also permit some application that needs webservices as local, to have less
dependancies...

Subject: make optional servers insttall
Split baseXY tarbail to serversXY and baseXY, this step will be optinize
disk usage. why the need for httpd, ldpd and other optional services for
desktop use case?
I was curious, so I sat down to calculate how much disk space removing
the servers will save you. A paltry 12-15 MB on AMD64. On my OpenBSD
laptop, I have XFCE, SeaMonkey, and VLC installed and those already take
up 4 GB. Quibbling over a few megs on a desktop seems pointless to me
and will only lead to substantial pain down the line. At a certain
point, your time has to be more valuable than the disk space you are saving.
