Just stumbled across it after our teacher said EV3 runs linux that is completely configurable etc.). I am aware that you try to give the most to everyone, and that's great! But there are people like me who just need the bare minimum :) \r\n\r\nI have installed ev3dev, ssh'd into it and there are many packages, the size is about 1.4 GB, but what is the bare minimum to connect with actually? (only wifi and a program writen in C++ to control the motors and read sensors is needed)\r\n\r\n What packages are safe to remove?\r\n\r\nI would think as a starting point these command could be run:\r\n\r\n    apt-get remove '.*python.*' 'node-.*' 'nodejs.*' 'samba.*' 'lua.*' 'libv8.*' '.*ruby.*'\r\n\r\nOr would this cause the system to be unable to boot correctly?\r\n\r\nDry-running this command gives the following as output:\r\n\r\n        The following packages will be REMOVED:\r\n          dh-python gyp libjs-node-uuid libpython-stdlib libpython2.7\r\n          libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib libpython3-stdlib\r\n          libpython3.4-minimal libpython3.4-stdlib libruby2.1 libsmbclient\r\n          libv8-3.14-dev libv8-3.14.5 lua5.2 node-abbrev node-ansi\r\n          node-ansi-color-table node-archy node-async node-block-stream\r\n          node-combined-stream node-cookie-jar node-delayed-stream node-forever-agent\r\n          node-form-data node-fstream node-fstream-ignore node-github-url-from-git\r\n          node-glob node-graceful-fs node-gyp node-inherits node-ini\r\n          node-json-stringify-safe node-lockfile node-lru-cache node-mime\r\n          node-minimatch node-mkdirp node-mute-stream node-node-uuid node-nopt\r\n          node-normalize-package-data node-npmlog node-once node-osenv node-qs\r\n          node-read node-read-package-json node-request node-retry node-rimraf\r\n          node-semver node-sha node-sigmund node-slide node-tar node-tunnel-agent\r\n          node-underscore node-which nodejs nodejs-dev nodejs-legacy npm python\r\n          python-crypto python-dnspython python-gi python-gobject python-gobject-2\r\n          python-ldb python-minimal python-ntdb python-pkg-resources python-pyudev\r\n          python-samba python-smbus python-talloc python-tdb python2.7\r\n          python2.7-minimal python3 python3-minimal python3-smbus python3.4\r\n          python3.4-minimal ruby ruby2.1 rubygems-integration samba samba-common\r\n          samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs smbnetfs\r\n        0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 96 to remove and 0 not upgraded."}}
