There isn't such an inventory, but, a lot of stuff is obviously deletable and it will still boot, for example, all the pcmcia stuff (lib/modules and cardmgr), all manpages, vi/elvis/ex/view, all the ext2fs utils, maybe find, etc. That will probably be enough.
Note: Be careful of the hard links, you need to delete all references to a file to make any size difference. Note: You obviously *cannot* delete the kernel, the C-library, the busybox or cpio or lilo or basic utilities- which take up most of the space. -Tom On Thu, 8 Apr 2004, Bill Catlan wrote: > Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 13:31:15 -0400 > From: Bill Catlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [tomsrtbt] request for inventory of essential files > > Hi Tom, > > Thanks for tomsrtbt. > > Quick comment, and then I will get to the request that I am actually writing > about.
