After tar cvfz /mnt/hda4/share.tar.gz /usr/share
I deleted everything under /usr/share

Later I restored the 3 files
/usr/share/terminfo/l/linux
/usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100
/usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100-am

Now I have this disk usage:

#df -m
Filesystem           1M-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2                 1699       128      1520   8% /
none                         3         0         3   0% /dev/shm

The corresponding package list is at www.wx4s.net/pkglist4
This size and capability appears to meet my needs.

I didn't grasp the application of this vacuum script. 
Perhaps someone could add a paragraph to the description.

Regards,
Ed
