This stuff is pretty huge, and you probably don't need it. (Anybody know a reason? And one good enough to have it installed by default, if that's the case?) Anyway, on my box: spoon:~# du -s /usr/share/* | sort -nr | head -n 10 <-- (top 10!) 66956 /usr/share/texmf <-- (created by tetex on install) 48076 /usr/share/doc 17064 /usr/share/locale 12184 /usr/share/man 10316 /usr/share/lyx <-- (my reason for keeping tetex) 7732 /usr/share/terminfo 6876 /usr/share/i18n 6616 /usr/share/perl 5128 /usr/share/games 5028 /usr/share/zoneinfo ...and tetex-base itself is about 30MB. So you'd probably free another 100MB if you can't find a reason to keep it. The other big stuff in /usr/share is more or less required- doc, locale, man, terminfo, perl, and games of course, for fortune. ;) HTH, Mike McGuire
