before part III

alaios · 03-14-2004, 02:35 AM

I have already completed the Part I and Part II succesfully.
I have just stripped the unuseful debugging symbols. The problem is that my h/d has only 848mb free space......the manual tells that 850 are necessary....
I am thinking if it willbe necessary to delete all the man page
rm -f /tools/{,share/}{doc,info,man}
How much disk space i will earn? If i delete them i wil not have man pages at all?
Thx

this is only the /tools documentation, and you're probably going to delete that folder after you install the real system anyway, (and you will have your man pages).

so rm -f /tools/{,share/}{doc,info,man} should be fine

to find out how much space you'll earn, use du

$ du -smh /tools/{,share/}{doc,info,man}

du -smh?

i can't find the -m parameter in the man page of du. What it provides?

Code:

`-m'
`--megabytes'
     Print sizes in megabyte (that is, 1,048,576-byte) blocks.

whaddya know? it's not in my version of du, either (coreutils-5.0)
it's been a while since i've looked at the man page.
seems redundant with -h, so less typing for me
