Bad ideas... Remove all unnecessary files from / (a la kernel.GENERIC and kernel.old) Remove /modules.old Remove all unncessary files from /root (hint: there don't have to be any there) /dist should be empty anyway. If this isn't enough yet, don't read any further: remove /bin, /sbin, but keep in mind that this is unreversable. Don't do this, it's unreversable. Don't throw out /etc, since it contains information about your system. Don't throw out /etc, since it contains information about your system.
