Strip down my Linux Lite
#1
I would like to strip down my Linux lite. I need to run only few programs : firefox browser, lamp server, and owncloud. I do not need any other program and would like to uninstall them all, even if they do not use resources. I am not sure from all those packages witch ones are critical and witch ones are not. Can somebody help me create a list of ALL packages i can remove. Thank you.

In case you did not know. Ubuntu comes with minimal install iso of 30MB . I have used it myself to teach myself on how to do this type of Ubuntu install.

You will need a ethernet connection during the install process. Here is posted screenshot of Ubuntu 14.04 Icewm I hand made.

The computer went down soon after due to lightening strikes. So that install is gone. It was easy to do though. Probably easier than stripping Linux-Lite. Becuase. XFCE alone brings in a lot of extras in it's install. Which is Siamesed in with xfce.
You remove any of those. You break XFCE and lose your Desktop.

I am who I am. Your approval is not needed.

My understanding is that stripping away default packages could make Linux Lite unstable.  You might want to consider another distro like Zorin Lite.

I like My Linux lite but become unstable maybe i deleted something i shouldn't. Is there way to recover to original installation plus to keep added programs. I spend too much time setting it up don't want to go thru same processes again.
Thank you for you time.

If you created a restore point using Systemback, then you could revert to that.
