Talk:DP Code Development VM

These are bfoley's tweaks from the initial 'minimal Ubuntu VM' to make it even smaller:

# remove unused packages

These were not done because I want to retain the ability to do translation work (or translation interface work) in the VM

echo 'LANG="C"' >/etc/default/locale
apt-get -y purge firefox-locale-fr language-pack-fr language-pack-fr-base # 11016kB
apt-get -y purge locales # 27080kB
apt-get -y purge language-pack-en language-pack-en-base \
         language-pack-gnome-en language-pack-gnome-en-base # 18032kB
