when i say "throw away" i do *not* mean that you should go and start to manually delete files in /usr/bin/ - - the files in there won't give much disk-space. e.g. my /usr/bin/libreoffice is really just a symlink to /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice, which means, that deleting /usr/bin/libreoffice will free a handful of bytes (hard to guess exactly; most likely less than 64 bytes in total!) more important: - - manually deleting files in /usr/bin is a good start to completely brick your system, esp. if you are an "amateur linux cracksman". thus: - - fire up your favourite packagemanager. - - skim through the packages installed. - - find those you don't like. - - mark them for deletion (your package manager will/should complain if you have marked a package for deletion which is necessary for other packages to function properly) - - apply your changes. iirc, you have been experimenting quite a lot with various linux distributions in the last months. so by now, you should have a favourite package manager for Debian-derived systems (and know how to use it). if not, you should spend the time to acquaint yourself with one (i'd suggest "aptitude" in interactive mode, but others will work as well) > in the meantime, you might want to start thinking about why you > have an 8GB disk and you only see 3.5GB (on two partitions). > > - maybe you are not using the emmc module at all > >> How can that be?
