I think en_US alone would be enough, without the three other variants, but probably the space saved would be negligible.

Hello,

wget is in busybox.
Not everyone speaks en_US. Wink  : Me, the first.
And I think too that : "...but probably the space saved would be negligible." Smile

Bests regards.
Good evening all,

may be to remove Dillo ?
Already, links2 (graphic mode and terminal mode), w3m, NetSurf and Firefox.
"...but probably the space saved would be negligible."

Thank you.

Best to all.
Yan: Wget or Curl, Some of these are used by web browsers for downloading. Always preferred Curl to Wget so it could go if nothing else uses it.

Grindstone: Htop in busybox, regular Htop more menu options, prefer it than busybox. Wallpaper definitely find smaller

Yan: Gftp, yes newbies (me) use ftp daily, command line is out. Nftp (favourite) could be replacement for Gftp

Audio players: mpg123 out, Xmms plays mp3. 6mb soundfont? I have 4mb version which is as good as 25mb sf's. Also have decent 3mb, 2mb, and perhaps even still have a 1mb sf that plays ok. Could save a few meg there.

Smaller fonts, yes, Liberation an option. Terminal editors, keep Nano, Emacs, Vi etc if someone uses these would know how to install them.

Web browsers: W3m out, retain Glinks (best if only for bookmark file, 9000 links in a 1.2mb file editable by anything and read by any browser). Replace Firefox and Sylpheed with SeaMonkey
Wget is also used by many third party scripts for downloading.
As for the initrd, see https://damnsmalllinux.org/forums/thread-168.html ;-)
