I am a happy BBB user. The only problem is eMMc storage space.

The BBB is running Debian 9.9 IoT. Leaving about 1.1GB space.
A full image only leaves about 200MB not enough to apt upgrade.
After getting a good working setup I burn an SD-Card for backup.

I have a fast flash drive connected to the USB port. It works fine.
I can read & write to it just fine.

*What I would like to know, is it possible to install programs on*
*that drive instead of the eMMc card using  sudo apt install.*

For example:  "sudo apt install bwbasic" ??  The flash drive is always
mounted via /etc/fstab and connected via a 4-port powered USB
hub along with a WiFi adapter to off-load power from the BBB.

If that is not possible is there a list of safe things to remove using
sudo apt remove or unneeded folders?

I'll stop here, I go on too much.

Thanks
