Now that I have my SliTaz install stable and for its purpose as a music server all of the players are working and making sound, I'll be spending this weekend experimenting with what I can do to strip out parts of the installation, without breaking it as a music player.
Mostly I'll be uninstalling packages in the package manager and checking to see if it's still functioning after. I don't need things like Internet in this boot section. Are there any specific packages that are essential for the OS stability that might not be obvious?
Also, can I uninstall the pacman file manager and still maintain the music player function. Any reworking of the music folders/library can be done in Ubuntu, on the same drive, so all I want to do with SliTaz is open the player and launch files.
