My largest Stretch root partition is 5.6GB. One or more of my 32 bit Stretch installations may be on 4.8GB. All have separate partitions for /home and /usr/local, none /opt or /usr. All are either EXT3 or EXT4. None have Cinnamon, XFCE, Gnome, Mate, KDE or LibreOffice. Most have only IceWM and TDE. Nothing stays in apt's cache for long, but I do have more than two installed kernels on many of them. Also, all are kept svelte by APT::Install-Recommends "false";. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
