the suggestions were :
>From fritz Kleeman :
--------------------
use setld -i to see what software is installed.
The lines look like this:
OSFRCS300 installed GNU Revision Control System (Software
Development)
If there is some software installed, you will never use, delete it with
setld -d (For the GNU Revision Control System: setld -d OSFRCS300 )
>From Knut Helleboe :
--------------------
Usually all *.ps files are documentation files that can be deleted. You can
also scan through what's installed by doing a 'setld -i' and have a look at
all the files in a subset by doing a 'setld -i <subsetname>.
>From Benoit Maillard :
----------------------
The *ONLY* safe way to deal with removing software is to use setld.
setld -i shows you what is installed.
setld -i SUBSETNAME tells you the content of a subset.
Depending of what the system is used for, you can tailor it for you use.
Take care of having the original CDROM to reinstall a subset if needed.
>From Daniel Swim :
------------------
look at the tunefs command with the minfree option
>From Sam Sarasin :
------------------
You can use the setld program to install and deinstall software on your system.
the command setld -i will show you all of the software subsets installed on
your system. You can then use setld -i "SUBSETNAME" to see the file contained
in each subset. setld -d "SUBSETNAME" will remove the subset if no other
subset needs it. If you have a factory installed system and are not developing
code there are many subsets thet you can delete. Here are some of the ones I do
not use on my system.
>From Jon Forrest :
------------------
I have wrote a paper about this problem
Setting Up A "Dataless" Environment under OSF/1 (2.X & 3.X)
and
A Comment on DEC's Dataless Management Services
(Draft of 11/10/94)
>From J.F. Vibert :
------------------
Look what I have on the same machine :
/dev/rz0a 126462 87968 25846 77% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
/dev/rz0g 1543830 791336 598110 57% /usr
Use setld -d to remove some products
>From Antony d'Atri :
--------------------
Assuming that you don't have any user data in there and that /usr is
just OS stuff, I'd say that you've probably got most or all of the
optional stuff installed. My Alpha here has a fairly rich set, yet
doesn't take nearly as much space:
/dev/rz3g 1361576 685050 540368 56% /usr
Some of postscript files could be deleted, at least. If you've got the CDE
stuff installed, look in opt/CDE100/usr/dt/doc. For no apparent reason there
are two copies of the PostScript documents, in two different fonts.
Thanks for all of above,
Patrice LUSCAN
