And I didn't want to load up the u-sd the pi boots from with all that tex stuff, probably 3 to 4 gigs worth.
You might find this useful:
dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -k1,1n
Shows the installed packages in ascending size so you can see what's eating the space and get rid of it with an "apt-get remove".
the space isn't the real problem, its the write cycles wearing out the u-sd card. Its not squawking yet, but it is getting awfully slow at writing. And I don't have a dd-able backup image to make another. If you know of such a utility for armrf, please advise.
