Banana Pi R64 removing preinstalled programs

Hi,

Are there any packages that are preinstalled that I can safely remove without corrupting the system in order to save on space? The initial space taken up but installed software is about 60MB out of 92MB. Also, I do not have the option to extroot the system on this Squashfs of OpenWrt I have already tried that.

Here is a list of preinstalled software

Is that the standard packaging, or have you added something ?

Nope! That is the sdcard.img.gz I am using and I have just freshly installed the operating system and it is reporting the same packages.. Regardless, are there any from that list I can remove to save on space on the sd card?

Ok, I take it back then :wink:

Depends on your use case, I'd start by removing *ppp*, unless it's required by your ISP.
Then remove what appears to be bluetooth related, unless you need it.
