I have a HD installation from 2007 MCN Livecd that has been running for a while. I would like to make a Licecd from it that would fit on a CD. Which file should i delete? I can thing of LOG files now but there must be others.
When cleaning log files, should i just delete them?
mindwave
well temps are always good to. but the REAL question is, what else have you INSTALLED since you did the HD install.

unfortunately it doesnt take much to outgrow a CD.

I think Kris has done a great job at slimming down MDV, but for example I did a power pak+ hd install with the specific idea of creating an MCNL type setup.

the SMALLEST ive ever gotten it is 2.2GB, I typically hover around 3.1 and 4.1GB, now they compress down to 2.1 when I ISO them, but i have NO games 1 mail prog and about 8 other apps installed from the base.

so again, open konsole, SU and the DF, and see how much room youre taking up.

one thing i DID learn the hard way. I have never gotten a working live ISO by leaving anything other than my "/" mounted

I have a 320gb data drive, and even when it was empty if I left it mounted my ISO's woundt run
