[Bug 2038901] Re: Ubuntu default/minimal installation is only ~11% smaller than full installation

[John Kizer]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to discuss this, but - is the thought
on this to look at what programs/capabilities are available to the user
on a fresh install and evaluate options to prune those, or to look at
reducing the installed size required to deliver the same capabilities as
the mantic default install? (Things like the other bug mentioned in the
Discourse post, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/+bug/2038906 , I assume)
