I tend to use LTS and the upgrade from 16.04LTS only announced itself this week on 16.04 machines. You could upgrade to 18.04 when it came out but LTS machines normally wait until xx.04.01 which is the official LTS upgrade and gives LTS a good chance of being an LTS!On 07/09/18 14:02, Tom via list wroLike others I'm upgrading my *ununtu machines. Why oh why do they make documentation a necessary part of some dev packages? I just want the headers and libs almost all of the time so I can use them in someone elses project. 396Mb of texlive-latex-extra-doc at the moment. I've got 9 gig to come down for this upgrade and I reckon 6 of it is .doc files I will never read! Tom te tom te tomPass --no-install-recommends to apt or just manually uninstall the desired packages afterwards - tex does pull in a lot of stuff (but then those files do contain a lot of extra assets like fonts, etc as well). In your case you'd probably want to purge the file first to avoid your system pulling them in the first place: I imagine it's not so much the size of the packages themselves, it's downloading them all on a slow line which is the problem. So is everyone upgrading to 18.04 then? We're still a month too early for 18.10 so I guess so. Cheers
