Are all the installed packages absolutely essential?
If possible I’d like to remove some so that I have more space for packages I’d actually use.
Anyone got any ideas what ones (if any) I can remove to free up some memory?
All firmwares packages are in Squashfs format that is not writable. Deleting packages will only remove them from the index and they will no longer appear, but the space they occupy is not recoverable, and even increasing the size of the index can result in less space left without removing anything.
I tell you from experience.
