IIRC Slink minimum install is circa 30 MB Would it be worth a try installing minimal Slink first, then apt-get upgrade;apt-get dist-upgrade ?

The barebone install is about 80 MB for potato and I'd like to reduce it even more. Is there any way to make apt-get stop installing packages' man pages and documentation? I never actually tried that, but would symlinking /usr[/share]/{doc|man|info} to /dev/null do the job without disabling apt updates? I have docs and man pages on my personal work station, and having them multiple times is a waste of disk and backup space. Has anybody actually done something like that?
