A big chunk of that 121MB is going to be the database to support synaptic/apt-get. I use bleachbit to keep it under control. Just running the defaults gets rid of about 70MB for me. Adding /var/apt/pkgcache.bin and /var/apt/scrpkgcache.bin under custom gets about another 50MB if I run it twice.proebler wrote:Trying to apply the suggestion resulted in: Unable to locate package libgll-mesa-dri
I have however found a different solution.
Instead of installing xserver-xorg-video-mga, I have installed xserver-xorg-video-vesa.
That works.
I have now made a frugal install to the HDD of computer 4
It boots in approx. 35 sec from the moment Debian-Stretch-Live is selected on the Grub menu on this P4, not bad !
I note that the 'changes' directory size is 121MB after doing the apt-get update, apt-get install for vesa and setting some desktop preferences.
I assume that this is typical ?
I still only have Palemoon in the 'modules' directory, not using wifi.
Thanks again.

Unless I have added something major or there has been an update, my save folder runs around 15-20MB.
