[opensuse] Cleaning house - freeing up disk space
Hello, I'm playing with openSuSE 11.2 as a guest OS on a virtual machine (Virtualbox 3.0.12 on a Windows Vista host) and the default initial drive size was 8GB. I opted during installation for a separate /home, so it has / (4GB), /home (5GB), and swap (1GB). I went with XFCE as the desktop environment to keep the 'weight' down a little, and have installed a few other programs (gnucash, gnumeric, abiword) that probably pulled in a bit more of the Gnome/GTK world than I had intended. Is there an easy way to 'skinny up' this installation? If I go through in YaST and de-select various packages, does the packaging system on SuSE automatically clean-up orphaned packages that are no longer required? TIA, Monte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
