You can lose another 14M by clearing out /var/lib/apt/lists. /usr/share/locale also takes up a fair chunk. Removing all that, I get 91656 total. > 185444 sid > a +25MB increase, even though etch is nearly in sync. Well, except for python... That only looks like it should account for ~17MB though, so there might be more to it. Note that you can remove base packages fairly happily (or avoid installing them in the first place, with some care); it's only required/essential packages that are really difficult to avoid. Note that python2.4-minimal should only be an extra 2.5M, compared to an extra 12.4MB for python2.4 (or 10.5MB for python2.3, which is what python-minimal currently equates to). Cheers, aj
