Well, here is my first post on this subject. Hope i'm not stepping on anyones toes by reposting things that might have already been posted...and this is just /etc, i'll give the rest of the base another look later ;p...I've been meaning to make this list for /etc for several weeks now but since someone finally started a thread and it got responses:
Upon my perusal of our /etc...There are many things we can do to
Free up these inodes & inode space, and here are lots of orphaned files. Perhaps when ran against a 0.9.3 tree we can get a diff of the space usage? :0 I don't feel like taking the time to do that.
While this list is of course not all inclusive, and i am probably wrong
about a few things...I just thought I 'd throw it out there. ;)
Basically a lot of things in /etc can be cleaned up as far as whitespace/blank lines go...
since blank lines take up space too. (i know, 1 character, but, hey, its still wasted space)
[d] denotes directory

[d]/etc/CORBA -why CORBA?
[d]/etc/alternatives -useful?
[d]/etc/autoconf2.13 -empty

/etc/group -the group file can be sized down.

/etc/*.org -we can lose the .org files, they're just 'originals'
/etc/gpm-root -sadly, we don't have gpm (if we'd add it that'd be great)
/etc/group- -because we already have a group
/etc/passwd- -because we already have a passwd
