/opt/raspberrypi/root running out of room quickly ... #4

Hey @twobitcircus -- this is an exciting setup and I finally had a chance to bring it all up this morning.

Here's my PR with a few updates:

https://github.com/twobitcircus/rpi-build-and-boot/pull/3

Anyway, it appears that my loop mounted img is filling up (not surprising) when I compile. Do you have a strategy for avoiding resizing the image.img file? Or do you just resize it?

egradman commented 10 years ago

Yeah, I've narrowed that down to a couple of packages that take up an obscene amount of room. I remove them by default on new images:

apt-get remove wolfram-engine squeak-vm scratch

We could add that to the ansible yml file, but I didn't want to presume that everyone wanted to remove those packages.

I haven't yet tackled how to resize the image.

Great thanks @egradman!
