Thread: Minimizing disk space / RAM usage


hello again.

i'm trying minimize amount of disk space ubuntu takes up. far have reduced size 3.9 gb, minimize further (i'm going clone hard drive).

using disk space analyzer tool, can see of space being taken /var/cache. safe remove of files in here? if so, ones?

trying reduce amount of ram system takes run. right base amount around 78 mb on startup, seems xorg taking majority of ram usage. using metacity (no compositing). there someway can reduce footprint of xorg further?

used have bootchart installed, have sinced removed it. since then, removed quiet , splash grub entry. can still see bootchart being loaded (on startup), , process killed. have purged configuration files , everything!

system boots fast, seems of time used shortly after apparmor profiles loaded. seems sit there few seconds before fsck, , few more seconds after. can minimize well?

again!

can't bootchart, , i'm assuming you've removed many unused packages can? if not, use synaptic uninstall them. things openoffice take lot of space

/var/cache, i'm not sure, safe in removing /var/cahce/apt/archives/. holds archives , half completed .deb packages. mines taking 300mb, maybe trim down there
