How to free some space?

[misenko]

Hi everybody, do you have any advice what components could be removed to free some space because, unfortunately, this image is pretty large for VU+ UNO. It has only 100 MB and after fresh installation and update, roughly 8MB is left and this is consumed very fast by installing few plugins and system cache. Thx!

usb drive and install a universe that will give you plenty of space.

Thanks for advice, isn't boot slow if booted from external drive or USB stick ? Also what happen with old installation in vu+ memory if I install a new universe ? It is removed from there, or do I have two version of BlackHole image afterwards ? thx

Thanks, I've checked it up, looks very interesting. I will give it a try. I just need to find an usb stick

My UNO takes roughly 2 minutes for a full cold boot into Avalon. This is only slightly more than booting into Black Hole. My TV+AMP take about 40 seconds parallel to this if switched on together.
Make sure you use a fast USB stick (better faster than bigger, 4G is nice, 2G will already do the job). Give aways are typically slow (cheap) sticks.
