Very Computer

I have installed Core x86 Solaris 8 on my PC which is about 56MB total...

I want to know what all those solaris files do...

What all those files under /etc, /kernel, /usr directories do...??

So I can figure out what to delete and what to not...

Is there any place where I can figure out about this?

Any websites ??

Thanks...

If you want to make your Solaris install more lean, do not delete files and
folders manually
Instead, remove unwanted packages. "pkginfo" will give you a list of all
packages installed
on your machine. Yuu can then determine what you do not need (double check
and make
sure that you *really*  do not need it) and then remove the package using
"pkgrm". Even
in a core install, you will find a lot of unnecessary packages.

Doing so will ensure that you get a lean machine without screwing up any
dependencies
(which could pretty well be the case if you manually started bumping files
and folders)

Good Luck
