Oops bad cut and paste of the code below ... better to just go look at his script. Line 5 should say run not pristine. :-)<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 4:05 PM, Kevin Gordon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kgordon420@gmail.com">kgordon420@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Mavrothal's scripts that pretty much removes everything from that
directory on the XO 1's. The script saves one file only: USB8388.bin
If one deletes that file, I believe networking ceases to function. The
code he uses is here:<br>
<br>
mv /versions/pristine/"$OSVER"/lib/firmware/usb8388.bin <br>
rm -rf /versions/pristine/"$OSVER"/lib/firmware/*<br>
mv usb8388.bin /versions/pristine/"$OSVER"/lib/firmware/<br>
mv usb8388.bin /versions/run/"$OSVER"/lib/firmware/<br>
rm -rf /versions/pristine/"$OSVER"/lib/firmware/*<br>
mv usb8388.bin /versions/run/"$OSVER"/lib/firmware/<br><br>The script also removes a bunch of dri/lib,icon 256, and language versions. Frees up about 60Mb on our machines. His full script, along with a swap script, and some bad/ugly installs script is in this thread<br>

I still haven't been able to get a USB2VGA projector to work on any 11-2 builds even beofre the firmware removal, so I cant comment on that part.<br>
