Note that a better tack might be to identify running services, find out
what other software is installed, try removing it (looking for reducing
size, as this seems to be a concern of yours), and stop if:
- Something you need is removed via dependencies (cancel the action,
you'll be safe).
- Something breaks -- in which case, don't remove that.
