Size of new install from remastersys

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

Was able to remaster Scorpio today and install on a new flash drive.
The install should be about 2.9 GB but the install is at 6.0 GB.    Is it
safe to delete /lib/live to get the size down to the right size ?    Anything else that
could be deleted to get the size down to 2.9 GB ?

Surprised the iso installer didn't delete this stuff.

THX

I don't remember what's in /lib/live. Read this post for suggestions.

I don't think that post is exactly pertinent.

What mine did was not delete /lib/live/mount/ so the install from the
remaster iso was twice as big.    Manually deleted /lib/live/mount/
then and the exact right size expected was there OK.    Something
the post-install steps probably should have done.

Had a few minor problems with permissions in /home/user but I
think that was my fault somewhat.

Not exactly 100% but not too bad.   

Just FYI,

Okay, glad you got that sorted out. Did you hear remastersys is changing ownership? Actually, the repo is still up. Tony (fragadelic) emailed me and said the server is still running, but he didn't know for how long.

The OS4 distro has taken ownership.

That's a damn shame, although I can't say I'm surprised.  That was one hell of a project to sustain and there didn't seem to be the support from the main players that it deserved.  I only hope that OS4 can keep up the concept, otherwise it will be a waste of a valuable tool.  I certainly will miss it - it's what finally swung me toward Debian after the PCLOS fiasco.  Kind of throws the whole remastering process into the air.
