How to remove the languages I do not need in remastering?

[dtzxdtzx1]

Hi,

I want to create spaces so I have to delete some packages I do not need. The first target is the foreign languages I do not speak. Can someone tell me how to remove those packages?

thanks

Frank

apt-get remove kde-i18n-whatever

There are also spellchecker dictionaries and internationalization packages for openoffice, etc. Just apt-get remove the ones you don't want.

Getting rid of unnecessary locale data - For this tip, you need to download the "localepurge" package found in Synaptic Package Manager. "localepurge" is just a simple script to recover diskspace wasted for unneeded locale files and localized man pages. It will automagically be invoked upon completion of any apt installation run.

To open Synaptic Package Manager, follow the instructions in Tip #1. After opening up Synaptic Package Manager, click the Sections button on the bottom left hand corner of the window, if it is not already clicked. Next, at the top of the Synaptic Package Manager window, click the Search button. In the search window, key in the following text :

Quote:

localepurge

Did the "localepurge" package popup in the package window? It probably did, unless you do not have the correct Repositories. Now, click on the box next to the "localepurge" package name. Click on Mark for Installation. Now click the Apply button at the top of the window and wait for the downloading and installing of the "localepurge" package to finish. Once it is done, a new window should popup that has a bunch of abbreviations on it. for example:

Quote:

en
fr
po
sp
ka
etc...

You want to select the abbreviation of the language that you speak, or use with Ubuntu, ignoring the capitalized ones. For example, I speak english, so I would select the "en" abbreviation. A french speaker would select the "fr" abbreviation. So on and so forth... Then click next. All done!
